TOPIC 1: Why NYU?
As I walked into the Welcome Center I looked around me in awe of the surroundings. The place had an aura that till today I can't seem to explain, it may be hard to believe but I know I felt something in there. As I embarked on my campus tour, guided by the students of NYU, I imagined what it would be like to be a part of it all, and it fascinated me.
What really stuck with me on that campus tour though, occurred when
I asked one of the guides,
"So where's the rest of the campus"
He paused, turned to his colleagues and looked at me for a split second
"There it is", he replied with a cheeky smile.
My eyes were instantly drawn to this unforgettable sight; it was the heart of New York City. NYU is not your typical campus college, but then again nothing in NYU is really typical. NYU is a perfectly individual community; it's an environment where a person can really find out who they really are, it allows you to embrace yourself and individualize.
When I think of NYU, I think of the unlimited amount of opportunities it has to offer, and the deep realms of possibilities that can be achieved. Be it, going global and studying abroad at NYU Shanghai or studying something as bizarre as the manufacturing process of felt tip pens at the Gallatin School, the possibilities really are endless at NYU.
I can envisage a productive academic environment where the beauties of New York City are combined with the possibilities of NYU.
There is no place in this world quite like it, it is a place that I dream of being a part of.
TOPIC 2:Regardless of whether or not you have an intended major or concentration, please elaborate on an academic area of interest and how you wish to explore it at NYU's campuses in New York or Abu Dhabi or at one of our global academic centers around the world. Please share any activities or experiences you have had that have cultivated your intellectual interests leading you to choose to study at the NYU campus of your choice.
"Boys I'm thinking of writing a book, I'm thinking of calling it 'And you thought Keynes was Good', I'm probably not going to type it up though" Mr. Lowe uttered in his distinctive voice as the classroom became engrossed with laughter. An unforgettable teacher, he was incredible in his knowledge of economics, but unfortunately he couldn't operate any technological contraption to save his life. His bizarre statements are something that strangely made one think.
And then it hit me, why can't I combine the two? Economics, is what I enjoy; its my passion, it is something that clicks with me. While, in this day and age computer literacy is regarded as the key ingredient of business and economic success. So it made sense for the two to work in conjunction, it seemed full proof at the time. But then, I began to doubt whether such a thing actually existed.
Then I realized that anything was possible at NYU, it is really about what I make of it. The joint economics and computer science major, offered at the College of Arts and Sciences is something I genuinely want to pursue. And through the expertise of professors such as: Mr. Andrew Caplin or Mr. Christophe Bregler, I cannot wait to involve myself in such a prolific and constructive environment.
