I mean I love this school and this city. New York is a great city and full of fun, even though in five years I have only explored a tiny part of it. Moreover, it really is an ethnic melting pot. I came from China, a totally different place from the States. I find it very convenient living in New York.
Chinese restaurants are just all over the city.
I think I can easily name eight of them which are located within five blocks of the Health Sciences Center. To many who haven't been here, New York seems unreal, like the pyramids in Egypt. It may be difficult to conceive of living in such a place, so newcomers are often surprised to find that New York is an easy and comfortable place in which to live. Because of the sheer number of these famous places, they don't necessarily become expensive or exclusive. The commute between the two is about 15 minutes either by subway or by free Columbia shuttle bus.
