With rushing trains‚ crammed people‚ the calm breeze of a park or the gusts of a subway‚ NYU is no conventional college with its unique campus but I’m no conventional girl. While beginning my college search I resented how isolated a lot the campuses I was looking at were. Why would want to go out to the middle of nowhere to learn‚ only to assimilate back into the real world after four years? I want to be in the middle of the action. I want New York. I want NYU.

I want to study geophysics as it combines my capacity for mathematics and physics‚ with my predilection for learning about the Earth and the physical processes
