We, Caralie and I just returned from a chilly 10 days in NYC. This wasn't the regular visit with lots of site-seeing and shopping. This was a mission to find out what the City has to offer in the area of higher education. Caralie is a good student. She has worked hard, and, as we promised, we intend to help her find a school that she really wants to go to for college. We heard about the King's College from our school's headmaster, Dr. Farbishel, and so we looked into it. The school is in the Empire State Building! The majors all have a Philosophy, Politics and Economics core, with different areas to focus on - business, Education, and now a new major - Media, Culture, and the Arts. Well, that saved them on the list of possibilites, because although Caralie is very interested in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, she really wants to learn to paint well, and get an art degree. So, along with the King's College, we toured the art department at the City College (part of City University of NY) and School of Visual Arts, and Pratt Institute. This picture is of Caralie near the City College - it was FREEZING cold when we were there, and then we came home to 85 and 90 degree weather! It is very like coming back from a different planet! Now we are doing all the figures to see what is possible, and waiting for Caralie to make a final decision - oh - and applying for and waiting on word about many different scholarships!
