I like the courses at The New School, and I like its location. I have taken film and cooking courses, and now I'm taking Italian to get ready for a trip to Italy in the spring. 

I commute from New Jersey. The PATH train stops at 9th Street and 6th Avenue, so it's convenient for me to get here. I like to get to the city early so that I can walk leisurely around the neighborhood. 

I've learned a lot, and I've met some interesting people at The New School.
