A GROUP of lucky students from Priestley College have travelled across the pond to explore the Big Apple.

Professional studies and performing arts students are currently enjoying the trip-of-a-lifetime in New York where they have had the chance to see some of the most iconic sights the city has to offer.

Performing arts students have been spending their short break in New York by visiting film and media museums as well as taking part in a number of workshops.

The aspiring performers also paid a visit the Radio City Music Hall at the Rockefeller Center to interview its entertainers.

As part of the public services course, students have studied war, conflict and terrorism so a visit to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum was organised to see first-hand the impact of the terrorist attack.

Students also visited Westpoint Military Academy and went behind the scenes at superstore Macy’s.
