'I would never give up...' - 'subway announcement' - How does this one sentence sound like?

I knew that I would never give up New York University because of its pros and benefits.

Hmmm does it sound too informal...?

I knew I would never give up new york university because of its benefits and (find a more formal word for pro... which by the way, is almost similar to benefits)

thank you so much! :)

Yes....android21 is correct... that sounds odd and also the usage is "pros and cons" that give opposite meanings. So you better have the word "benefits" only. This is my suggestion;


I knew that I would never want to give up New York University because of the great benefits it offers to students.

'subway announcement' - please check one sentence

I confuse which sentence is much better and sounds like more natural English.

Please see the bleow:
1. A subway announcement enables me to proceed with exploring the world of English-linguistics.
2. A subway announcement leads me to the world of English-linguistics.
Tell me your opinion! and give me any comment for your idea.

Thanks in advance!

I feel the second one is shorter and closer to the real English

BUT IT WOULD BE BETTER TO SAY

subway announcement leads me to English-linguistics world

In general the shorter the sentence, the stronger it would be and take care of PREPOSITIONS i.e. the sentence is stronger without them
