Richmond

New York University is best known for its prestigious location in the heart of Manhattan. The University not only has the location; it has achieved academic excellence as a large urban research center with a small-school feel. The sports management program that I am enrolled in is one of many great majors to choose from at NYU. However, it is the opportunities that are presented in New York City that make the University so unique.
