Choosing NYC: The City Experience vs. Traditional College, My Journey

Hi, I’m gonna use your comment here to answer this question
and also some of the other questions I’ve been getting on this video
that low key blew up. Thank you,
you guys. At the main thing was just being in the city.
I knew I always wanted to live in New York.
I think that was the main factor
when making this choice to go to school here.
I also knew I didn’t want to wait post grad
because I wanted to make connections.
And also, a lot of people don’t know this,
but I did community college for two years in Virginia
from where I moved, and during that time,
I got to, like,
visit a lot of my friends in the bigger,
like, state school campuses,
and it just never appealed to me.
I wasn’t really wasting out on the traditional college experience
because being in New York was just so much more my thing.
Feel like you either love it or you hate it.
Like, also,
one thing that’s nice about Fordham
is that they do have the traditional college campus,
like, up in the Bronx,
so you can kind of fulfill that that way
without completely missing out on it.
I go to the one in Manhattan, though.
Like, what we have to do is just do what feels right for you and, like,
what will fulfill your needs.
I felt like
the pressure for me to get that traditional college experience was
More for, like,
my peers and friends and what they did after high school.
Going to the city and not knowing a single person
was more for my thing.
And I’m so glad I ended up picking what I wanted to do.
