On June 15, students loaded up on a bus and headed to Woodbury Commons Outlet, a major shopping attraction one to two hours away from New York City, to get in on the deals. The outlet features 220 stores with famous designer labels at discounted prices.
When the students finally reached Central Valley, New York, they excitedly roamed the vast expanse of the outlet, both window shopping and reaching into their wallets when seeing stores like Burberry, Coach, Prada, DKNY, and more.
While many of the students who returned to the bus in the evening with shopping bags clearly enjoyed the great deals they found, all the students appreciated seeing another part of New York. While they were quite familiar with New York City now, the students saw just how different other parts of New York are.
"There were a lot of people at the outlet, but it definitely was a different feeling being here than in New York City," said first year Chinese University of Hong Kong student, Oscar Chung. "Everything is more open and spaced out here. I can't believe how different places are just one hour or two hours away from another location!"
Students returned to their residence at Flushing YMCA at 9 pm, exhausted but pleased with the day's trip.
