I’m into gaming and I’m very quiet in certain environments. Most of the time I’m playing a game or watching Youtube studying playstyles. I came to city tech so I can learn more about computer hardware due to the fact that my high school only had software in computer software and IT support
Hi, excellent post but I think you posted in the wrong section.
I want my classmates to know about me is that I like making friends and I like learning skills and language.
My goal in City Tech is to develop a strong foundation in my field of study while building valuable connections and gaining practical experience through internships and projects.
I chose city tech because I wanna study in my favorite major which is Computer and I really like the area of environment here.
I wanna gain new skills and get pro in my major. And then start earning!
Hi, excellent post but I think you posted in the wrong section.
what I want my classmates to know about me is that I love cats and had one. I choose city tech because of my major and I’ve heard good things about this school the most. My major is business and technology of fashion and I want to be a fashion designer or a model. I want to learn more literature one of my hobbies is writing poetry. I want to become a better student than I was in high school and have better grades and maybe continue to play basketball.
Excellent!
you seem very ambitious, I’m glad to see you have many interest’s. Basketball is my favorite sport so I would definitely encourage you on that.
My major goal as a college student is to get a bachelor’s degree. I didn’t really choose City Tech and I was surprised that City Tech gave me an offer. The major that I was interested in is Psychology, which City Tech does not offer. However, I want to explore other majors or transfer to another college.
Sounds Good, it seems you know what you want and I have no doubt you will achieve you goals.
One of the reasons in why I choose to come to City Tech was because when I was in middle school and high school I took a lot of filmmaking and digital media classes. I have always enjoyed those classes. During the beginning of my junior year I got accepted into my school’s musical of skrek. It was a lot of fun. Something that I hope to learn more about in my first semester is taking the classes that I will need for my major because I know that not many people have the opportunity to do that which I find crazy. I know that it will be a little bit weird in the beginning because I have never had a schedule like this and don’t know any students here yet but I am excited to learn more about everything.
Amazing, it seems you have a great attitude for the start of college life. Its great to hear about you interests in filmmaking and digital media as well.
My goals as a City Tech student is to learn how to do the behind the scenes for performance’s. I am really interested in learning how to work the lighting, and the sound mainly more then anything else. The main reason why I choose city tech was because it was the best school that I had applied for. I think somethings that lead me to apply for this school was because when I was in middle school and High school I took a lot of Filmmaking and Digital Media classes. I was also in my schools Shrek musical as a cast member in my junior year which was really fun. Something that I am hoping to learn more about is how everything works behind the scenes and getting to help with a few of our schools productions.
I want my classmates to know that I’m friendly and approachable, and that I also do tattoos! As a college student, my goal is to maintain high grades while having a balanced schedule between school life, work life, and personal life. During the first semester hope to develop the skills needed to put together a strong portfolio, which is an opportunity I didn’t have during my high school experience.
Sounds Great!
I’m glad to hear you do tattoos, do you also have any? Its great to hear about your goals for this semester as well.
Some of my hobbies are cycling and badminton. My favorite genres are alternative hip hop, indie rock, and metal. My goals as a college student are to develop efficient study habits and to keep myself organized with my assignments. What I hope to learn in my first semester at City Tech is an understanding of the healthcare industry and being able to communicate more effectively in Spanish.
That’s great to hear! As a student who did an internship in a hospital, knowing another language in the healthcare field is definitely a good skill. Since you mentioned types of genres you are interested in, do you have a favorite artist?
I want my classmates to know I intended to major in nursing, and also play many instruments. My goals as a college student are to get a high GPA and find what I truly want to pursue, making more friends. I chose city tech because of nursing. Focusing on the study is important for me
Hi, excellent post but I think you posted in the wrong section.
My goals as a college student are to get my bachelor’s degree in architecture and work at a firm later on and even get the experience of being a college student. I chose City Tech because it isn’t a long distinct from my house plus it has my intended major. I hope to learn in my first semester at City Tech is knowing my professors and peer better and even make new friendships. This might be tricking though because I’m not a very social person. In addition, knowing my way around the college.
Sounds great!
I enjoyed hearing about you goals and you lucky to not be too far away from Citytech. Making new friends and getting to know you professors better is definitely a good step to take during you first semester.
I want my classmates to know that I like getting good grades (Passing all my classes), I love listening to music and watching all kinds of shows and movies. Lastly I’m animal lover, I love all kinds of animals besides bugs and insects.. .
My goal as a college student is to get far, pass all my classes with high marks, keep up with all my assignments/projects and units and make connections in my field of work (My major) and getting a good job in connection to that. I hope to have fun and make memorable memories.
I chose City Tech as my first choice because it is a Cuny College meaning it’s more affordable and it is close to home. It has the major I am interested in pursuing (Architecture). Lastly I’ve heard good things about City Tech so far.
In my first semester I hope to learn everything I possibly can with a good understanding especially about architecture for example, programs, applications, 3D modeling and physical models and floor planning etc.
What is my main priority are my grades, always.

Hi, I am Ritchell, and I am planning to major in dental hygiene.I speak 4 languages, which are French, Haitian Creole, English, and Spanish. For this semester, my primary goal is to succeed academically, emphasizing the importance of discipline and time management. I chose City Tech because I wanted to experience the vibrant and dynamic city life it offers.
Wow, it nice to see you know so many languages.
Something I want my classmates to know about me is that I have four dogs that don’t really like each other but somehow live together. Some goals I have as a new college student is to maintain my grades above a B for all my classes, get to know my professors and classmates more, and probably to reach out when I need help with something. The main reason I chose CityTech was because my older brother attended a few years ago and talked highly about the school. Something that is important to me this first semester at City Tech is to make at least one acquaintance or friend in each of my classes so that I can have someone to study with or get notes from if needed.
Wow, four dogs is a lot to handle especially if they don’t like each other but it seems you have it under control. Its also nice to hear that you have a brother that is familiar with City tech.
I would want my classmates to know that i love hanging out and having a good time, especially with new experiences or people. I’m a nice person and I love connecting with people on a deep level, I am shy most times though. However, throughout my college journey I hope to join clubs/groups that I’m interested in and can help me succeed in my major. In my first semester i really hope to have that solid without a doubt confidence that my major (nursing) is what i want to do for the rest of my life/career.
Amazing, joining clubs is a great way to connect with people.
Some things that I would want my classmates to know about me. First, my name is Yeric. I’m from harlem. I am Mexican and Ecudorian. I’m also bilingual. My goal as a college student is to find the best path of success that I could have.Some things I hope to learn in my First semester in city tech is to get to my classes on time and manage my time in a more productive way.
Great, managing time is a great skill to have when it comes to have a successful school year.
My name is Emily Zuniga, I am a Honduran/American woman wanting to pursue my dental career. My main goal is to become an orthodontist and succeed in my academics by achieving outstanding grades. I chose City Tech because of its great dental programs and will help me as an introduction to my career into the dentistry field. I’m looking forward to learn how to communicate with others, use my resources and time management. I’m also looking forward to prepare materials, understand my assignments/participate and embrace confidence as a student.
I’m excited for you!
you have nice goals and I admire your ambition.
I have known I wanted to be an architect since I was a kid, and as a college student I hope to learn what I need to prepare for the next chapter of my life. I went with city tech because I believed it was the best option to help me reach my goals (plus my dad works a block away). I look forward to starting school, meeting new people, and making new friends.
Sounds great!
your younger self would be happy to see you now. You also got lucky to have your dad work a block away.
Im from Manhattan and I love to read and explore the city while listening to music. I’m trying to be more social and join some clubs. I love to read and I’m open to trying new things. I chose city tech because they have good architecture classes and the opportunities are really good.

I personally enjoy mystery and suspense.
Ong me too, i love a good girls guys to murder and I also love watching shows like law and order and criminal minds.
I chose city tech because it is close to home and I liked the area around the campus. My main college goal is to figure out what career I want to do.
You are very lucky to live close to Citytech. Its great to see that you plan to explore your career options as well.
One thing that I would like my classmates to know about me is that i’m a very outgoing and talkative once I feel as it i’m comfortable also i’m very nice and friendly.A major goal I have for myself as a students is to remain focus and not allow myself to be distracted so easily on the fact that I have more freedom compared to being in high school and remember that my studies are now mainly based on me putting in the effort on my own.I choose city tech because it allowed me to go directly into the field of dentistry with my major.In my first semester I hope to learn the basic about dentistry and how to properly number each tooth also I hope to learn better time management skills.
Its great to see you have set so many goals already. Time management is definitely a great skill to work on and can also play a role in helping you achieve you other goals as well.
