The ACM Urban Studies program was the best thing I did for myself in my life. I thought I just wanted to get into a city for a while for a change of pace, but I ended up learning so much about race, class, and urban politics that I changed the very direction of my life. Since doing Urban Studies, I've worked at the local newspaper in my college town, The Nation Magazine, and am completing my first year as a Teach for America Corps member in New Orleans. None of this would have been possible without the Urban Studies program. It was hands-down the most life-shaping experience I've ever had, and I'll be forever grateful.
