I believe New York University is very fitting for my academics and personal interests. A friend who attends there has told me about the many opportunities that i cannot wait to take advantage of. This school is both challenging for the students and offers a great campus life. It is close enough to home that I could visit if I want. It also has my three top major choices, of which i have not decided between. Most of the universities do not have all three of my options. I love that NYU has all three

its first store in New York City. According to Kuafman (2015), the restaurant will be located at New York University at 1000 Sixth Avenue in Manhattan’s Herald Square. The new
Fordham, I saw a juxtaposition of a suburban campus in an urban, bustling city. This fascinated me. New York is a vertical city of grey streets and yellow cabs, not green campuses. This truly makes Fordham distinct. Fordham’s location in the Bronx allows for the quintessential campus environment but the resources of a global capital. In the city, I can access internships at the world’s top firm while participating in research opportunities on-campus. University resources such as research are also a defining
I would not be able to spend this special day with my family – I would have to go to class instead. Fordham is a Jesuit University that becomes more diverse every year as new students join the community. Change takes place on campus; however, does this change allow for equal privileges among all the students? Every year, thousands of freshmen enter the gates of Fordham University. Among these students, not all are Christian. Some are Jews, some Muslim, and some Hindu and Buddhist. As a Jesuit school
Affordable higher education has been a focal point of discussion across the United States in recent years. Last April, Governor Andrew Cuomo spearheaded the implementation of the New York State scholarship program Excelsior.

I chose to look into the current University of Missouri scandal. The three different sources I used were an opinion article on the Star Tribune, an informational article from the United Kingdom Independent, and a student blog from the University of Missouri. Under several weeks of protest president Tim Wolfe, stepped down from his position of president of the school. The protests included the university football team threatening to boycott games until the president quit. The reason for the protests
Project 1 Accuracy or Advocacy: The Dilemma of Campus Sexual Assault A young woman carried a 50-pound mattress onto the stage at a graduation ceremony in Columbia University. Known as the “Mattress Performance (Carry That Weight)”, Emma Sulkowicz started carrying the mattress everywhere she went on campus in an attempt to expel a classmate who was found not responsible for sexually assaulting her (LATimes). She became an instant media sensation, as new reporters grasped the opportunity to cover this
Broadcaster. Also from the second I saw the New York City campus, I knew that it was the absolute and ideal University for me to continue on with my education. The University where I will thrive the most and reach my full potential. It was a realization for me when I first started researching NYU.
