College never has a dull moment, but it has a whole different vibe when you're studying in the Big Apple. Whether you've always had a love for the city that never sleeps or maybe you watched one too many episodes of Gossip Girl, going to school in New York City will never disappoint you
1. Free/Discounted Admission
With free admission to the world famous Bronx Zoo and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and heavily discounted prices for Yankees and Mets Games, MoMA, the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, and even some Broadway shows, why waste your weekends on frat parties?
2. The. Food.
On the good chance that your cafeteria food isn't up to your standards, there's a pizza place on every corner, breakfast is set with famous bagels, and if you're feeling wild there's always the opportunity to eat somewhere new. (Plus $1 pizza is definitely college-budget friendly.)
3. Every day is an adventure.
With the trusty MTA, the 5 boroughs of New York City are at your fingertips, you'll learn that some of the most amazing spots in the city are in the places you'd never expect. Whether it's on purpose or you accidentally get on a downtown train instead of an uptown, there's never a dull day when you're adventuring in the city.
4. All Your Friends Will Definitely Come Visit.
You'll never have to go visit your friends because why go to a regular college campus to reunite when you can go to New York City? Nothing is better than a night out in the city to rekindle all the old flames from high school. Go see a Broadway show (with those student discounts of course), or have a picnic in Central Park!
5. Everything Is Right Outside Your Door.
No need for sucky university shuttles or paying to keep your car on campus, because you'll have everything you need within a mile radius. Your nail salon, your favorite Italian place, Chipotle, a drug store, and your bank are all on the same block, making your life a whole lot easier.
6. Just New York In General.
Aside from whatever you're actually learning, you'll learn so much more just from NYC itself. Living in the greatest city in the world while you're young is something so many people dream of. From learning the ropes of the city, sharing your living space with over eight million people, and learning to live with people from all over the world, it's a new experience every day.
