On the Road with Betsy Woolf – Touro University, Times Square

Situated on the northwest corner of 43rd Street and Broadway, this outpost of Touro with an enrollment of 2500 students is a modern high rise whose big windows face the building from which the ball is dropped on New Year's Eve - my angled look upwards revealed the ball perched atop the building  - and whose rear windows overlook the theater where Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is playing on 43rd Street and the site of Madame Tussaud’s wax museum on 42nd Street.

Is Applying To College Unfair?

The simple truth is that college admissions are unfair - and the system works to the advantage of the colleges, not to the students.
