Project 365: Day # 28 - Sunday, October 2, 2011 "Welcome to the Polytechnic Institute of New York University!"

Today, Sunday, October 2, 2011, I began the second part of my productive visit to the "Big Apple". Yesterday was considered to be a chill and relax kind of day. That was the day where I spent the whole time walking around Manhattan and visiting the Fulton Mall in Downtown Brooklyn. The weather was perfect, it never rained until about six o'clock that evening. I woke up on an amazing sunrise on Sunday morning. I knew that this was going to be a great day. The open house began at 11:00 am in Downtown Brooklyn on the Jay st. Campus. I had already planned out my day. I was suppose to make my way from Jersy City to Brooklyn. Because of my cerebral skills regarding the mass transit system, I knew I was going to get there before the Open House started. I had to first take the PATH from Grove st in Jersey City into Manhattan and then catch the A-Train form 34th st. to Jay st. where the school was located. I consider this to be a small but actually prodigious adventure. I arrived at NYU Poly at exactly 10:45 am. I was able to get a really good seat in one of the auditoriums in the main library on the urban campus since 10 minutes later, there were 50 people inundating the room. After the presentation regarding the school and what special programs were being offered there, we were deivided into 20 groups to go on the campus and lab tours. The tour was amazing. From the state-of-the-art Engineering and biomedical labs to the recent construction of an all glass dormatory building that's environmentally efficient and overlooks the Manhattan skyline along the East River. I was very pleased in the school and what it offers. This really narrows down my choices as far as schools and what I would like to major in. And I find it very tedious to turn down a school which was ranked #3 in the best Engineering school in the country and #4 in the most Diversed University in the country alone. NYU Poly is merged with NYU in Manhattan including Engineering majors such as Civil, Chemical, Mechanical, Biomedical Engineering and so much more.
