<p>Hi Goodschoolhopefully, I’m glad you enjoyed getting out of the cold and snow! You are right…you do need to find the school that is a match for you! College is a big investment not only of $$ but life as well, so you have to be able to picture yourself living there for a good chunk of time and being happy! That’s why I think that gut feeling of belonging someplace is so important. When you find that place you will be counting the days, hours, and minutes until you start there! My daughter loves NYC and we spend lots of time there, so maybe SVA will be it for you. I know kids who are very happy there! As a parent I would have no worries about sending my kids to school in Manhattan. I hope you keep us posted on your search! Good luck in finding the perfect place for you!</p>
