Brooklyn

Transcript

Next, we’re gonna take a look at the LIU Brooklyn campus with Shivani, a senior pursuing her bachelor’s degree in finance. She is thrilled to be studying in one of the hottest neighborhoods in the country, just a short walk to Manhattan over the Brooklyn Bridge. It’s amazing, this location. It’s also rated one of this safest campuses in America. Shivani, you are on.

– Thanks Alex. Hey everyone. Growing up in Phoenix, Arizona, it was always my dream to move to New York City and experience life on the east coast. Once I graduated, all I wanted to do was explore the world and LIU let me do just that. After being accepted into LIU Brooklyn, my dad and I flew out here to attend an open house and I instantly fell in love with the location. With just a quick walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and a 10 minute subway ride into the heart of Manhattan, New York City is my campus. My favorite part is that we’re just a few steps away from the Barclay Center, top art venues like the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and not to mention all the restaurants, cafes, and shops. Although I’m in a big city, when I’m within the gates at LIU Brooklyn, I know I’m part of an intimate community. Faculty knows my name and I’m surrounded by students with similar goals and interests. The campus features high-end technology like Bloomberg terminals, where I’ve had the chance to be Bloomberg certified. I also manage $150,000 portfolio of stocks in the S&P 500 through LIU Student Investment Fund, all with New York City as a backdrop. I still can’t believe that I get to live and learn here. No matter your area of interest, business, music, entertainment, pharmacy, health, you will have a unique advantage studying at the Brooklyn campus, located at the heart of so many industries. As a finance major, this meant an internship at Wells Fargo’s Wealth and Investment Management program. At LIU, I’ve had so much success that I know the saying is true, “If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere.” And I look forward to my next chapter in New York. Back to you, Alex.

– That is so impressive. Shivani. It’s great to hear about the wide range of experiences that LIU Brooklyn offers to set students up for success. Having access to real investment opportunities on Wall Street is incredible. Thanks again Shivani. Cheers.
