First-Generation College Grads

I chose to attend CCNY because it had a great reputation, and I could not afford to go to any other college. My impression of CCNY is that it was very high quality and a difficult school in engineering. I was very happy to see the high level of students and professors that were there that made the school reputation so great. Being a first-generation person in my family to go to college and being modest means they could not afford to go out of town. I was a subway transit commuter to go to college, so for me it was an awesome experience to be able to afford to do that.
