What brought you to Urban Studies?
The major is very interdisciplinary and hands-on. The city influences my schoolwork and vice versa. I can get firsthand experience in city organizations and in research while taking stimulating coursework across many disciplines.

City politics, urban poverty, city planning
Career/Career Ambitions
City politics, city planning, homeless advocacy
Memorable experiences as a major
