My freshman experience was amazing. I really loved LS and the experience of being a varsity athlete on the NYU soccer team. I'm from the Long Island suburbs and coming into such a large NYU and Manhattan community can seem intimidating but being on the an athletic team really made the transition so much easier. Having that familiar athletic community was extremely helpful as well. The city, the academics and athletics all made my first year at NYU surreal and I couldn’t see myself anywhere else.
