Everything You Could Want

I know every other reviewer and all of Barnard's admission's materials say this but I think I need to say it again: this is New York City. Want to see a play? Got it. Want to see a painting other schools look at in textbooks? Hop on the subway and see it in person. Want to hear a new up-and-coming band? Check out Brooklyn. Anything you want to do, you can do. Best part: you just need to walk out your front door.

New York Eating

I assume my school does not stress for execellent on campus dining because New York is filled with fabulous resturants and diners for every craving and type of food you can imagine. All the resturants are conviently accessible by the subway. However, it is important to research affordable dining because some of the resturants can be a bit pricy on a college student's budget. However the streets are always littered with food stands selling hot meals and even fresh fruit. Any type of food you can think of, you can find in New York. As far as student discounts, I have yet to find any resturants that gave me a discount.

So Easy.

It's New York City. There's a subway stop right outside the gates. It's the best/easiest spot in the city to catch a cab.
