But if you can and are interested, it's a great opportunity to truly try on what it will feel like to live here for four year, not only at Skidmore but in Saratoga Springs, New York. Whether you make time for dinner out, a local museum tour, or a walk in one of our many historic parks, the Â鶹ŮÀÉ experience goes hand-in-hand with the Saratoga experience and we'd love to offer recommendations on where to stay, what to eat, our favorite ice cream spots, and more.
