    The College at Brockport

    The State University of New York (SUNY) College at Brockport is a four-year, public college located 16 miles (about 25.7 km) west of the city of Rochester and 45 miles (about 96.5 km) east of Buffalo. The Village of Brockport's population is nearly 8,000, while the population of the Greater Rochester area is over one million. Brockport offers the best of both worlds - a historic, canal-side village combined with easy access to a large city.

    Rochester has been judged one of the best cities in the United States for quality of life. It is home to the nationally known Rochester philharmonic orchestra, outstanding museums, an ultramodern planetarium and professional baseball and hockey teams. Rochester is a short flight from New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC, and within easy driving distance of Toronto. The Greater Rochester International Airport is serviced by several major airlines and is a 30 minute taxi ride to campus.
