New York’s air, rail, water, and land transportation systems represent the driving force that keeps this metropolis alive; they carry tourists and natives alike throughout the city’s expanse, like blood carries oxygen throughout the body. Whether it is the 6 train or the crosstown bus, transportation is something students in our class depend on each and every day. In this section, each student details his or her individual commute to Baruch College. Although all the students in our class have their own individual and distinct commutes, we all leave our houses with the same goal: to converge at our final destination, Gramercy Park.

Gramercy Park is the final destination for all our student contributors.
