CityCollege's thirty-five acre campus along Convent Avenue from 131st Street to 141st Street is on a hill overlooking Harlem; its neo-Gothic campus was mostly designed by George Browne Post, and many of its buildings are landmarks.
CityCollege was originally founded as the Free Academy of the City of NewYork in 1847 by Townsend Harris, a combination prep school and college, to provide children of the poor, and immigrants also, access to free higher education based on academic merit and other significant criteria.

The culture of NewYorkCity is rooted in centuries of immigration, the city's size and variety, and its position as the cultural capital of the United States.
NewYork is also one of only five cities in the United States with permanent professional resident companies in all of the major performing arts disciplines: the NewYorkCity Opera, NewYork Philharmonic, NewYorkCity Ballet, and the Public Theater.
NewYork's film industry is much smaller than that of Hollywood, but its billions of dollars in revenue makes it an important part of the city's economy and places it as the second largest center for the film industry in the United States.
