"You go to college in New York City! That sounds so exciting ,what is it like? "

I must have heard that question about a thousand times this past summer, every time it is asked, it receives the same answer. " It's very different but, in a good way".

This is the honest truth, going to college in NYC is very different, but in a very good way. Being a college student in NYC is unlike any other college experience. I don't really consider myself a normal college student. My days consists of attending a few classes, editing papers, having a project meeting at the MET, and then going to either a job/internship. We don't spend all day on a college campus and we don't exactly have a designated classroom. The city is our campus.

Having class at a museum or park is totally normal.

Getting to school can consist of taking two trains, a bus, and a twenty minute walk.

Weekends are for adventuring and day trips

Seamless is our dining hall

Sports and Greek Life really isn't our thing

Teacher's totally understand when you say "Sorry I'm late, I was on the 6"

Stories about a peers weekend could consists of tickets to Jimmy Fallon, bars in Meatpacking or bumping into Kanye on the street.

It's different, but we love it.
