For my New York Times Project, our group chose education as the topic because the project had to be related to CUNY Baruch College. Our group was trying to do a different topic on New York Times Project, however the project was supposed to be about Baruch. Here in Baruch College, education is really getting more important each year. Each year, there are more students applying to Baruch College because the amount of money that has to be paid is cheap. Another reason students apply to Baruch College more often is that education here is getting stronger and students who could have gotten to better college is choosing Baruch. As a result, statistically and academic wise, Baruch College is getting more competitive than ever and is proven at www.collegeboard.org. This is why my group decided to choose education as the topic since there were many information and facts we could put in the New York Times Project about Baruch College.
