Senior Year in NYC

Hi Everyone!

So while all of my peers are starting to get their acceptance letters for grad school, I received an acceptance letter a few weeks ago for another type of program.  As I've mentioned in the past, I've been hoping to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC as a visiting student and I finally received my acceptance letter, yay!  Although I am extremely excited to be spending a year in one of my favorite cities, it will definitely be bittersweet leaving Mercyhurst and all of my friends.

With that being said, you don't need to be a fashion major in order to take advantage of other great opportunities to study at different campuses.  Mercyhurst just announced the official opening of an international center in Dungarvan, Ireland, where quite a few of my friends are studying now.  There are also a tremendous amount of study abroad programs where you can immerse yourself in a completely different cultural setting.

My senior year in NYC will definitely be a huge culture shock and far from the campus I have grown to love at Mercyhurst.  However, I look forward to all of the great experiences and potential internship/career opportunities the Big Apple has to offer. =)  BTW, I plan to keep up with my blog next year so hopefully you'll continue to follow me and my adventures in NY!
