I Am CCNY: Roberto Nasr, Class of 2019
Major: Architecture, because I want to make an impact on the built environment. Especially in a city like New York, where we spend most of our time in buildings, it's very important that the spaces that we live and work in are spaces that we want to be in.
Why CCNY: It has an excellent faculty and excellent facilities.
Takeaway: CCNY has been a rewarding experience for me because of the relationships I've formed with my professors and with other architecture students. I'm going to leave the school very ready for the architecture profession.
