Personal Narrative: The Student Body Of NYU

I felt anxious about attending RU. Now that I have been here a week I am feeling motivated. Living close to campus gives me the ability to be completely immersed in the college lifestle, therefore, allowing me to have the chance to join various clubs and the chance to use the many resources that will advance my academic career. Being able to join a club here at Rutgers will help me be able to feel like a Rutgers student. The amount of opportunities this school has is endless, and I plan on taking full advantage of such benefits.

Before coming to James Madison University I had no clue what I wanted to get involved in. Whether it was a club sport, business related group, or a social fraternity I just wanted to be apart of something that was bigger than myself. At the beginning of the school year I looked into tryouts for club baseball, the Madison Investment Fund and rush schedules for fraternities on campus. I quickly found out that club baseball wasn’t for me, at least for my freshman year. I then asked around about MIF and got the sense that you needed a very heavy Economics background and that it was very challenging to be accepted as a freshman. MIF is something I hope to get involved in next fall. In the back of my head I always knew that a social fraternity was what

During admission into Bronx Community College, I faced one of the most stressful predicaments academically. After applying, and having my transcripts mailed, I waited about two weeks before calling to ensure the transcripts were received. An admission counselor confirmed all transcripts were received and in the process of being reviewed. Five weeks later, during the first week of registration, I was informed one of the transcripts had been misplaced. Avoiding any further delay, I hand delivered the missing transcript. A few weeks later, I received a registration appointment. I was put on a list, received a number, and waited 9am to 5pm on a line for two days until my name was called. Unfortunately, while sitting with an advisor I found out

Wellesley College is an extraordinary college that provides all I could ever seek in a college. It has various majors to choose from, extraordinary interactions with professors and students, and an inspirational atmosphere full of great women from various backgrounds. I never knew that such college would have all the preferences I wanted. The more I learned about Wellesley the more I realized that this is a true college in which I could work in and get to where I want to be. As the first in my family to go to college it is vital for me to remain true to myself and empower myself as a hispanic woman. Education is essential to everyone, but to me I believe is a way in which I could represent my capacity. Though there is

Visiting New York, I was heavily impressed by the vitality of this dynamic and influential metropole as by the cultural diversity on NYU’s campus. Furthermore, I liked the attitude of NYU’s founders, stating that this University is graciously open to all, which I as a non-U.S. Citizen appreciate in particular, just as the fact that NYU has the highest number of international students in the United States. Moreover, earning a degree adapted to current exigencies is crucial for me. The non-denominational concept is also exemplary, as it conveys a world open attitude, which is identical to my own one and extremely important to me in a globalized world. The “open” Washington Square Campus, located in the heart of Manhattan promotes interaction

Hello I know it is early but I was just wondering about how to go about becoming a student here next september. I am going to into my second year of Westchester Community College in Westchester. After my two years I would like to attend John Jay, what would be the steps in attending? Is their a certain grade I need to get in order to get in. Also while I was in high school I never took the SAT/ACT would that be a problem ?

Although many schools claim to be the best, the University of Michigan truly holds this spot in my eyes. When talking to people about it, they always comment on how cold it is, and they wonder why people would ever want to live there. My answer is simple; I was born in Michigan and love everything about it. From the bitter cold, to the prestigious colleges, I take pride in being born here. When I researched great law schools and found one located in Michigan, my attention was immediately

When trying to even begin why the University of Pittsburgh is a good school for me, my mom had me help her make a pot roast. Peeling back the brown crispy layer of an onion, the second layer of white skin appeared. Epiphany struck me; The University of Pittsburgh is like an onion.

During my first year at Ithaca College I experienced a major depression. I had family complications when I first went away to college and it affected in a way which I had never experienced before. The pain I suffered day after day, night after night was unendurable. I could not never concentrate enough to even complete my work, I lacked motivation to cease any tasks. Also, I was heartbroken at the thought of not playing varsity soccer because soccer is very important to me.

College is an opportunity for furthering ones education, getting involved, and making new friends and connections. Being a student at Regis College I feel as though I missed out on those opportunities. After spending two years at Regis College I have come to realize that it is not the right fit for me. It offered limited amounts of organizations and activities that interested me. Which lead to me going home on most weekends because I enjoyed being at home more than being at school. Whereas, for other students living on campus, it would be the opposite. After I had completed my first round of clinical nursing I lost come to realize that nursing is no longer the career path I want to pursue. However, clinical did open my eyes to the different

am writing to you to inform you about my progress at City College. City College has become my second house, and I can say I have been taking advantage of this great new college experience. This past semester was very successful, and interesting; I took four classes which I passed with A’s. Even though I took only four classes, at the beginning it was very difficult to adapt to the big classes with hundreds of students, and long hours of study in order to past tests with good grades. However, all the efforts made this semester helped me to discover new passions on me that did not exist before.

New York University is a school that amazes me in every aspect. With its WRITE QUALITIES. Nonetheless, the location of the school is what takes my breath away—New York City. To me, the city is a mystifying place left to be explored by its many inhabitants; a place of discovery, wonder, excitement, confusion, and opportunities. Diversity is a huge part of NYU as its student body contains numerous international students and people of color. The chance to learn about different cultures and ideas inspires me as the diversity doesn’t stop at the school’s buildings. It continues into every borough of the city and would allow me to connect with unique people and their backgrounds.

I am a unique individual that could contribute greatly to the well-rounded UNC student body. Frequently, when I ask myself "Why UNC?", my response is about my difficult background and overcoming the odds. Growing up in a small southern town, there isn’t much to do or to talk about, besides football and politics. My single mother raised me, and due to the lack of a father figure in my life, I have found myself to be very independent, far different from my mother. We moved a great deal, in and out with her constantly changing abusive boyfriends and husbands, and back to my grandmother’s house. I always felt like the current relationship my mother was in, held more importance to her than I did. However, I never allowed this to affect me or my

As I walked to Joffrey Ballet School every day, passing through Washington Square, I found myself looking past NYU. Night or day, I always managed to find a feeling of undeniable excitement whenever I would take a walk through the streets of the campus, it was magical. Born and raised in NYC, I find myself to be an ambitious, independent yet passionate individual. Having lived in the West Coast, throughout the programs I attended in China and The Hague, I have witnessed a multitude of diverse thoughts and perspectives. Similarly, with the highest number of international students in America from more than 100 countries, I want to engage with the wide array of ethnicities, passions and ambitions. In addition, I attended a highly multi-cultural rigorous school which

Montclair State University was the first college I visited. I arrived knowing nothing about what to look for or what I even wanted in college. I honestly didn’t even think I was going to like the college. This was mostly because it was a commuter college and I felt like I wanted to become independent, not stay at home with my parents. However, on the tour I felt like it was a place the students genuinely had fun in, even if they didn’t technically live there. My tour guide was constantly telling us about how many events and extracurricular clubs there were. He talked about how MSU has no limits because if there was a club you wanted that didn’t exist, you could create it yourself. As someone who is really focused on being able to have a lot
