1965
I went to CCNY as it had an excellent reputation for strong academic study. It was also in New York City, and it was inexpensive. At that time, it was still called the 'Harvard of the Proletariat.' It was academically very challenging, but at the same time, it was lots of fun. I made some good friends. It was a wonderful experience overall, and it prepared me for graduate school and my career. It resulted in truly a good life of the mind. It was such a rigorous experience, and I know about many, many things that a lot of other people who went to college probably don't. CCNY enabled me to have a very successful career as I went to work in public opinion and social research.
