About sir how is haiti a latin country, Zac, I think white Americans like to say that the restavecs in Haiti are slaves for the same reason that they've done everything in the past 200 years: to bring Haiti to its knee. They want Haiti to pay for being the first black nation to challenge white superiority during the colonial period.

As for the school; both choices are fine. I don't know a lot about Georgia Tech except that it's a good school.

However, at least three people in my family graduated from NYU. The all had great things to say about it. The thing is that deciding which school to go to has a lot more to do with your personal situation and what you want to study.

Your choice should be based on those things.

NYU is located in a very urban area. It is much more diverse than Georgia Tech. However, the teaching methods at NYU is a lot less personal than GT, and you would really have to figure out most things on your own. You should also check out the cost for each school, and if the courses they offer meet your needs.

Most colleges have their courses listed online.

If I were you, I would visit both schools before I make a decision.

If you can't afford to fly to them, you can take a Grayhound...students travel on it all the time. Let me know what you decide.
