Urban Settings

When I think of urban settings I think of big cities. I think of places like Chicago or New York City. I picture skyscrapers, big bridges, tall hotels, apartment buildings and condos, busy roads, public transportation, and people walking or riding bicycles. I imagine the urban lifestyle to be very busy and chaotic. I picture people always being in a rush to be somewhere. I think urban experiences are one of a kind experiences that you can't get anywhere else. I think that even in a big city, the experiences can still feel very intimate. I imagine New Orleans to be much like this, one of a kind. I imagine it to be a very big city, with a lot of people, and many tall buildings. However, I feel that the experiences in New Orleans are ones that you won't get anywhere else. The history and culture of New Orleans is so much stronger than some of our nation's other large urban cities and I feel that this contributes to some of the unique opportunities available in this city. I am so excited to take this trip and can't wait to find out for myself what the city is truly like.
