Transportation
By car: From the Adirondack Northway (Interstate 87), take exit 14 and proceed west on Union Avenue toward downtown Saratoga Springs (you will pass the old Skidmore campus). At Union Avenue and Circular Street turn right, then take your first left onto Spring Street. At the traffic light at the top of the hill, turn right onto Broadway. Proceed straight through six traffic lights onto North Broadway, and continue about one mile to the Skidmore campus. The main campus entrance is on the left.
By train: Amtrak passengers arriving at the Albany-Rensselaer station can take a taxi to the Albany International Airport to connect with a Skidmore shuttle bus. Those arriving at the Saratoga Springs train station should make their own transportation arrangements to campus.
By air: The nearest airport is the Albany International Airport (www.albanyairport.com). Passengers can take the Skidmore shuttle bus to campus for a fee of $25. Please indicate on your Reunion Reservation Form your flight number and the time of your arrival as well as your departure information.
