Outside of working hard, we also play hard! You can do anything from enjoy a great meal at Parkville Market to kayaking in the Connecticut River to going to one of the several local casinos to hiking up a trail or checking out one of many local microbreweries. There’s something for everyone! Not to mention in the fall the foliage is stunning and in the winter the snow blankets provide quite the view. Spring and summer are also the best times to be outdoors. Larger cities such as New York City and Boston are only 90 minutes away if you ever want a quick getaway. Our residents take advantage of social activities and more, partaking in social gatherings and many play on intramural sports teams among others.
