One of the things on my list this summer is visiting New York City schools. As a rising senior, college has been on my mind quite a bit lately. And New York is definitely one of the places I will be looking for schools to apply to!
There are downsides to looking at schools in the summer–especially in New York! One, it’s hot, and that’s no fun for walking around campuses for hours. Two, there’s often not many students on campus in the summer. However, as it’s New York, and there’s always people everywhere, #2 shouldn’t be a problem.
Tip for visiting a school: DRESS NICE! You don’t want to wear jeans. Although it’s unlikely they’ll remember your face, it’s still nice to leave a good first impression. Better to not be remembered than be remembered in a negative way, right?
There are some really amazing schools in New York City. Columbia, NYU, Fordham, and many many more! These three will probably be the ones I am looking at first and foremost.
College is scary but you can make visiting fun! When I college visit, I like to get a good look at the surrounding area. Rumor has it that Columbia’s in a bad neighborhood, and that NYU has no tangible campus. Well, I need to see that for myself! And I have to decide if those things really matter that much to me. All I know is that I can definitely see myself in New York City for my college years. I can’t wait to see where I’ll end up!
