Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Unknown  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Super Brilliant Eugene Lang is a fantastic place. If you want to work hard to get a lot out of your education you can. However, you can also not do anything I squeak by. The resources are awesome, the professors are passionate and accessible (most give out their home number), and the students are laid back and friendly. The university is rather disorganized, but that is improving. Come here if you're self directed and want to work, not if you want a typical "hold my hand and tell me what to do and think" college experience.

If you're not attracted to the idea of personal growth and independent ambition, this may not be the school for you. Perhaps a more traditional school would be best for those people in search of a typical college experience.To be quite honest/stereotypical/blunt: you don't find too many of the jock/frat boy/preppy girls that overwhelmingly make up a traditional college campus. They might be hiding under a different guise at this school, or not at all, who knows. I've found that if you make the best of your classes(meaning you read and study on your own, not only rely on someone teaching you), are responsible on your own, and are willing to deal with the greatness that is living in one of the best cities in the world, you will get an amazing education and many fantastic memories.

I transfered into lang two and a half years ago. I love it. They are incredibly unorganized when it comes to paperwork so you have to stay on them but it is worth it. The majority of the students are VERY liberal and make it known but you are free to do as you please since there is no real campus you dont have to spend time around anyone you dont want to. Along with there not being a campus the obvious parties arent so in your face but they do exist, they happen often and can get very large (trust me I ended up with three hundred people on my little east village roof one night) so grab a flier, keep your ears open and go. The classes are great if you take the ones you want to be taking. There are very few requirements so this isnt a problem. At Lang you have a lot of freedom so that you can learn what you want to be learning and the classes are very challenging. It takes effort though, the students create most of the classes (there are no lectures only seminars so everyone has to participate with teachers to explain some but mostly are just moderators) and many of us either turned down or left Ivy league schools. Eugene Lang is amazing. Its the school we all love to hate. Everyone I know spends a lot of time complaining about it but couldnt immagine themselves anywhere else. I am concentrating in Fiction Writing the program is wonderful and jam packed with talented writers, both students and teachers. Education Quality: A+, Campus Maintenance: C+ Have a Question?
