Some people choose to come to Manhattan College because the Engineering department is outstanding. But others, like Shannon Butler, chose this small, close knit school in the midle of the bronx because of the fact that it is a quick 1 train ride to the heart of Manhattan. Proximity to the city was an especially important factor for Butler because of the career path she is pursuing. If you saw her walking to class you would know she is a fashionista, but her love for fashion is not just a hobby. As a marketing major, Butler plans to turn her love for designer everything into her dream job.
