n May, two groups of YC students traveled to New York City for an educational experience unlike anything to be found in a traditional classroom. One group was there to study the arts and culture of America. Through live shows, art museums, and simple people watching, these students glimpsed what life is like in the artistic hub of the U.S. The other group, which also made a stop in D.C., was learning about the darkest times and events in recent history, The Holocaust and other genocides and acts of terrorism. They met with survivors, visited museums and memorials and contemplated history through a personal lens: What would I have done? What can I do now? Both sets of students agree: these trips were some of the most powerful learning experiences of their college careers.
