How I Get To City College

I live in Ozone Park, which is right on the border between Brooklyn and Queens, and my trip to school takes approximately 1 hour. The journey starts with a short walk (approximately 3 blocks) to the Grant Avenue subway station of the A line. The A train runs express to Manhattan so I remain on that train until I get to the 145th Street station in Harlem. This train ride takes approximately 50 minutes. I then walk from 145th Street to the City College campus, which takes approximately 10 minutes.
