The 25 GIFs That Perfectly Describe Going To College In New York City

Many high school seniors spend a majority of their senior year contemplating where to go to school. Some are looking for that “real college experience” that includes tons of frat house parties and countless games of beer bong and flip cup.

Others go to college looking for a different experience: they want to actually learn, network and really set themselves up nicely for the future. Any way you look at it, New York City has some great schools with a plethora of networking avenues.

Why waste your time going to a school in the middle of nowhere when you can be thrown into the heart of one of the best and most diverse cities in the world, and try to make it there? Going to college in New York City is an experience like non other.
