For my Neighborhood Project I’d like to focus on Chinatown and more specifically, the changes in and interrelatedness of gentrification, real estate, city planning, and community development.

Introduction
Hello everyone. My name is Christine Zhou and I currently reside in Staten Island. I was born in Queens but moved when I was eight years old. I have to admit my current neighborhood doesn’t appeal to me much largely due to its suburban characteristics. Not that I would ever live in Manhattan but there’s something about Staten Island that I’ve never much liked.
I chose to come to Baruch largely due to the full scholarship I received from Macaulay. I plan on majoring in Arts Administration almost entirely based on the fact that I would not like to take a calculus course and out of all the majors that Weissman offered this one appealed to me the most.
If I had the guts to pursue a career in which I was really passionate about it’d probably be either architecture, interior or exterior design. I suppose now you understand why I chose Arts Administration out of all of the other possible majors.
I’m pretty interested in psychology and I suppose sociology is of a close relation. To be quite honest I don’t have any specific expectations of this course but any study of human behavior will be of itself rewarding to me.
If meeting new people was a recognized hobby that’s what I’d say I enjoy to do in my spare time. I’m looking to register for a bar tending course in the summer so I suppose I’ll meet my fair share and more of interesting folk then.
Kindly excuse the hat hair. Thank you.
