New York Experience Research Paper

Improved Essays
I knew I wanted to take The New York Experience from the first moment I heard about it. I heard stories of students sitting in four-hour lectures, learning about things they didn’t even care about. I always was fascinated by New York City since I have always thought of it as the capital of the world. I grew up in Queens, NY so I was no stranger to the city. Every Christmas or special occasion my family and I visited Manhattan and every one of those visits I fell in love with the lights and the atmosphere. I loved knowing that there was so much to do at my doorstep. By the end of my sophomore year I had set up my schedule with all the courses I planned on taking before my graduation. While planning this schedule I left space for NY Gotham.

They had limited access to land and needed a way to generate more space without expanding to new lands. They built skyscrapers to make more building space and they dug underground tunnels to build railroads that later became what is now the subway system.
