Academy of Finance takes on The Big Apple

Griffin Bubb

The members of Academy of Finance at Northwest High School just took their annual field trip to New York City. This trip is a single day trip to the city, touring great sites such as Times Square, Statue of Liberty, Rockefeller Center. This trip is available for members of the Academy of Finance at Northwest. There is about 50 spots available so they couldn’t take every member. The cost was about $60 and transportation was by charter bus. This trip is a great experience because not only do you get to see all the attractions the city has to offer, they also toured places like NASDAQ and the NYSE(New York Stock Exchange). This is great because you can learn about how buying stock and investing and all that works. That is why it is great for the Academy to take this trip because they are learning about all about money and finance. It is great because NYC is the center of the economy and finance in the whole United States.  I went on this last year and it was a great experience and very fun. I recommend going on this trip to anyone in the academy of finance.
