Urban studies encompass many different aspects of the built environment and how people interact with it, along with how laws affect these interactions. For me, I am the most interested in how laws affect urban poverty and quality of life. People's quality of life in cities is a topic that has become increasingly interesting to me and has become intertwined with my previous passions. These passions have led me to start working toward a public policy minor so I can gain a better understanding of government policy and how policy affects everyday people.
