I enjoy my time here. My friends are amazing people and some of the faculty have made me feel really safe. I believe that there are many cultural celebrations and inclusive things here.

Townsend Harris gives students a good academic environment they can thrive in. Personally, I think I've seen growth in myself as a student here. They have a lot of clubs where it is so easy to get involved in. Your college resume will be set before you even get to senior year.
