What to Bring to College

<p>Haha, Vihzel,</p>

<p>I have a confession. I do have an ulterior motive in posting my “helpful” posts. Want to guess what that might be? Getting any ideas yet?</p>

<p>As to the way you moved, that is excellent. Why hassle with items via long distance, the airport, extra fees, etc. to move into NYC? Also, you can determine what you really need when you get here. It is not like NYC is in the boondocks. You can get anything you want here in NYC. And you can shop around for best prices. Plus there is the internet! Though some people want to plan ahead or shop with their folks, so having the BBB option is great.</p>

<p>Well, back to my ulterior motive!!! I actually think as a society we Americans are too individualistic and we lack community. This has been a complaint of NYU students. I think we can choose to build community wherever we are. It serves my purpose to give to others through these means. I know that the whole college application and admission process is nerve wracking and can be uncharted territory, especially for those without parents or “mentors” “savvy” enough to guide them along the way.</p>

<p>Also, it is so gratifying to problem solve issues with students like yourself who work very hard to get a little closer to realizing some very worthwhile dreams as contributing members of society. Now, that sounds mushy, but it is the truth. :slight_smile: I do get good feelings when I know people have more info at their fingertips to make major and “minor” decisions. </p>

<p>By the way, congrats on assembling your furniture today! Wow, what an achievement. I am so uncoordinated and bad with putting things together, so I am very impressed you managed to accomplish that today!
What furniture was that?</p>
