11 Advantages Of Attending A City School

Most College students don't study at a school based in a busy city; usually because of how expensive it can be, how dangerous it can be, and how living is inconvenient. Besides the three negative reason, students in city locations have the most advantages, and the most fun. a small percentage of us attend schools in New York City, Los Angeles, and Miami. New York City is known to be the best city in the country, and i can give 11 reasons why. The perspective of New York City student is different then any other New Yorker. We see things more practically, have more responsibilities then the average college student, and yet still know how to make it worth the experience.

1. The city is your campus.

How could you not make the best of it? Living in the best city in the world, there are endless resources and opportunities. The world is literally at the palm of your hand.

2. “Small private college”

Is it really though? Everyone knows everyone in class, but outside school it’s a whole different crowd. It’s the best of both worlds.

3. You never have to worry about bumping into someone.

Everyone hates running into people they know, especially when they are in a rush to get to class. Once you leave the school buildings, it's impossible to find someone or have an accidentally “bump in.”

4. Street meat is a real thing.

I know it doesn’t sound so appealing, but to a NYC hungry student it does. Need something quick, convenient and hot? The cart is right on the corner. Street meat is our cafeteria.

5. You walk fast… but like everywhere.

In the halls and up the stairs, students in NYC never seem to stop with the fast-paced trend.

6. You quickly adapt.

Whether you’re a native or not, New Yorkers never fail to welcome you to the lifestyle with closed arms and no smiles.

7. People are forever jealous you go to school in NYC.

It’s just another day for me.

8. The city motivates you.

The fast-paced lifestyle, business suits and all. The common trend on Madison Ave is getting sh*t done. Feeding off of peoples energy off the subway rides in the morning to feeding off of rush hour at the end of the day, never makes you feel exhausted but instead excited.

9. The subway.

No such thing as a DD in a New York City. Number one use for convenience and transportation.

10. Workaholic!

You will always have excellent work ethic. Whether you are a New Yorker or a city student, the environment around you inspires you.

11. The "New Yorker" attitude

Saved the best for last, its apart of the package as you adapt the city. You all of a sudden become afraid of nothing or anyone. You dont hold back your words as much as you use to.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
