This is a letter from Kathy Wong, Class 2000, telling you about college life at New York University, College of Arts and Sciences. So, enjoy and maybe you'll learn something. First off, if you end up going to a college that isn't your first choice, which is usually an Ivy League, don't bum about it. It only ruins our prospects of having a great time at your chosen college. I mean, you will have to go there for a year before transferring, if you so choose to.
Orientation is one of the best times of college life.
You get to meet new people from all points of the world as well as getting to see old friends from junior high school and high school. I met a new friend from Hawaii. She tells me how Hawaii outlaws any type of rodent, so squirrels at Washington Square Park are kind of neat to her. Hopefully, you will have taken some AP courses and received 4's or 5's. Depending on what you take, you will be exempted from some required courses and get credit for them as well.
