Located just 14 miles outside of New York City, Seton Hall University prides itself on providing "students with the best of both worlds," according to the schools website. While many students are familiar with NYC, some never had the chance to attend until coming to college, and, understandably, can be slightly overwhelmed at the thought of exploring the Big Apple. So, to encourage people to take the trek down to the South Orange train station and adventure out into the Big Apple, here is your ultimate guide to NYC courtesy of Pirate Life:
