I remember going on field trips with my classmates to the flower district, to the zoo, and to various museums,  as well as climbing up to the roof of the school to draw. I remember seeing Dizzy Gillespie perform and seeing Dianna Ross in all her splendor attending the Coty Awards, both on campus!
The curriculum was very challenging and inspiring. At the end of each long day, I got to look out of my dorm window and take in the view of the Empire State Building.
