<p>Ann Arbor: When I went to orientation, there were people on the streets at 2 am hanging around, having fun, taking a stroll through the city. There was a mix of people. People of different backgrounds. It wasn’t homogeneous. Like NYC there are many people up at night visiting attractions and taking advantage of what NYC has to offer in terms of restaurants, bars, night clubs, museums, broadway performances and famous important buildings. Ann Arbor is similar in that regard, although it lacks most important buildings famous historic sites,and broadway performances. Many people are up and about at night clubbing or dining at restaurants; enjoying the culture that is around them. I go to NYC all the time. NYC is different in that there are millions of people confined to a small area, there are many important buildings such as the U-N, NYSE, Empire State building and others. NYC is a booming metropolis. Ann Arbor is like a miniature version of that. Sorry if I sound childish or ignorant. Thats the vibe I felt when I walked through the streets of Ann Arbor for the first time. Ann Arbor and NYC aren’t all that similar. There are obviously big differences between the two cities, but there are some things of Ann Arbor that reminded me of NYC. There are many different people, internationals, and others coming to the city to enjoy life, work and attain bits and pieces of the culture around them. NYC is the epicenter of culture. Ann Arbor is sort of similar in that regard even though it has a feel of a small college town. </p>
<p>Not sure If I made sense here. NYC is different than Ann Arbor, but I think there are similarities. This is just my own personal experience and comparison between the two places.</p>
