I am definitely in the same situation that you are in right now, but I found a great page that would help you find housing www1.ccny.cuny.edu/current/students/serv... The page is located on the CCNY website, but lists all housing available for CUNY students. The on-campus housing choice, which is "The Towers" is located on the CCNY campus, but is for all CUNY students. In my on opinion the towers has more of a dorm-type setting, which is why it is the housing of my choice.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
