The movie "The Way We Were" was filmed primarily at several locations including Union College in Schenectady, New York, which served as the fictitious "Wentworth College" where the main characters meet. Other filming locations include Ballston Spa, New York; Malibu, California; Beverly Hills Hotel, California; Central Park and Central Park Lake in Manhattan, New York City; the Plaza Hotel in New York City; and Union Station in Los Angeles, California. Union College was a significant filming site, featuring the Nott Memorial, the Chester Arthur Statue, and the Memorial Field House for various scenes. Ballston Spa's Front Street was also used for filming scenes set in the 1930s. The Plaza Hotel was used for the film's final meeting scene between the main characters. These locations reflect both the college life and urban settings depicted in the film and capture key moments in the story's timeline from the 1930s through later years.
