2. 1. New York City
Population: 8,175,133
Population Density: 27,012 per square mile
“Every time I go to New York City, it’s always way too busy. Everything is
dirty, there are too many people, and stuff is way too expensive. Oh, and the
Yankees are from there, worst place in the world.” Matt Medoff UConn Class of
2013

Population: 3,792,621
Population Density: 8,092 per square mile
“I’ve been to LA a few times for various work events and conferences and I’m always
amazed by how it’s so spread out. Unlike with other big cities where you can walk
around, in LA you have to take a cab ride because it stretches on for miles and miles.”

people on the East coast.” Andrew Carney Class of 2013

Population Density: 3,501 per square mile
“I spent a weekend in Houston in the late 90’s when I went there to give a
presentation. While everyone was very courteous as expected, I didn’t like the city
one bit. It was hot, all of the buildings were way too big and everything was far too
commercialized.” Deborah Coppa, Retired Federal Investigator

as I built them up to be in my head.” John Mitkevicius Class of 2013
