pros:
- getting out of OC
- new experience (food, people, places, etc.)
- earning a Master's degree and being paid to teach at the same time
- Central Park (i absolutely love that area)

cons:
- so far from family, friends, basically everything i know
- not being able to save money.. possibly going into debt (cost of living is wayyyy higher, airfare, etc.)
- the weather


i dunno. any other pros or cons that i'm missing?
