Nyu's Multiple Opportunities

Improved Essays
NYU offers multiple opportunities in various forms. The Honors Programs offer the chance to grow and challenge oneself intellectually, and that is a challenge I would like to undertake.

    I was able to engage in challenging classes within the Honors association as well as expand my confidence within WILL, Women in Learning and Leadership.
