Philadelphia and Area Attractions
Located only minutes from the center of Philadelphia, the historical heart of the country, Salus University is also situated near other beautiful areas - all within a two-hour drive. The Pocono Mountains offer year round recreation, ranging from hiking, camping and white water rafting to skiing and snowmobiling. The sandy beaches of New Jersey offer access to the Atlantic Ocean for swimming, fishing and boating. Lancaster, Chester and Bucks Counties in Pennsylvania offer beautiful scenery and for those in need of more urban settings, New York City is less than 100 miles away.
