It was interesting to see just how much of New York City’s population is made up of foreign-born immigrants. As a person who didn’t live in NYC, although there was decent diversity in my high school, it was nothing compared to what I see now in City College. Even in my suite in the Towers, each of the three of us are different ethnicities.

One of the slides also noted that people traveling to NYC from inside and outside the United States are arriving better educated and able to make more money. I find it interesting how, despite being one of the biggest commercial cities of the United States, the education in NYC isn’t as good as even other places in the US.

Lastly, something else I would like to see is data on the types of people moving to NYC from other places in the United States. Are they “native” Americans, or possibly immigrants moving to NYC from another city?
