    My name is Zackary Bux and my major is mechanical engineering. One thing I want my classmates to learn about me is that I like to be social and communicate. The reason I chose city tech is because it’s one of the few cuny colleges that has my major, mechanical engineering and can also satisfy my academic needs. This semester I hope to learn more about college facilities like places to help me with my courses.

    Hi everyone, my name is Jesse Zheng, and my major is Business & Technology of Fashion BS. I chose City Tech because I have finally found the right major that resonates with me and is a safer option if anything goes wrong. If everything goes right, I won’t need to risk going to F.I.T. What I hope to learn at City Tech this semester is how to utilize all the resources there are to get at City Tech, the best places to study, networking with like-minded people, etc. Finally, I would like to let my classmates know, that I am a very approachable person even though at the same time I can be a very independent person.
