Get Out of the Bronx

There are about 4 bars that students really go to near campus. They are nice because you see the same people there every weekend, but at the same time that's the worst part about them. With the campus so close to New York City I really would recommend going into the city for the night life. The Ram Van can be used as safe means of transportation back from the city even really late at night.

Take advantage of what you have

It all depends on what you take. There are some brilliant professors who will teach you things that you never knew you liked, and there are also classes that are a waste of time. Talk to upperclassmen and get a feel for what the professor is like, and how challenging the class is. As long as you stretch your comfort zone a little bit, the curriculum will be rigorous and rewarding.
