I have been impressed with the collaborative atmosphere--something I was not expecting in a top tier business school. Feb 06 2009 Business - Management and Administration

1st year MBA Dec 19 2008 Business - Management and Administration

I attended NYU for undergrad and am now there for grad in Gallatin, which allows you to design your own MA using the classes offered in all of the other graduate schools and departments at NYU. So far I have taken classes in the Economics Dept in GSAS, Gallatin core classes, and a class in finance at Stern. Next year I'll be taking classes in the Law School and Wagner. My focus is in Development Econ. Although NYU is not cheap, the classes are amazing and the departments are ranked through the roof. The other students are bright and have a strong undergrad background. In the core class I just finished a couple of months ago in Gallatin, there were five of us in the class conducting field work. One went to undergrad at UCLA, one at Harvard, and three of us from NYU. The prof was very nice, intelligent and helpful and the students in the class will be friends of mine for life. Another bonus: New York City. It is an amazing place to conduct research, especially in the social sciences. The inspiration I gain from simply walking around campus and the surrounding neighborhoods is indescribable. Yes, NYU does have a campus. No there are not iron walls surrounding it, but NYU's campus is Washington Square Park. It is beautiful during the summer and quant during the winter. They just began a massive multi million dollar renovation on the park which will be done in a couple of years. I hope this helps and good luck everyone! Aug 23 2008 Economics

Other than the professional schools such as Law or Medicine, NYU is overrated. I have degrees from three other public institutions of learning. My worst academic experience by far was at NYU. The faculty I met were not particularly bright, very arrogant, self-absorbed and dismissive of student needs. I would not recommend NYU to any student interested in getting a real education or finding an academic mentor. I am a college professor at a public institution. May 17 2008 Music Education

Your NYU experience is absolutely based on your ability to make it worth your time and money. I wish someone had told me that my graduate experience at this school would not be about personal edification in a community of scholars, but rather a few years of navigating through gaggles of pretentious PhD students whose feelings of success are a function of how incompetent they can make you feel in class. Most classes here are conducted by professors more interested in pushing their own areas of study on you than broadening your understanding of the subject or aiding you in your own research. In defense of some really excellent teachers, though, I have taken two extraordinary classes. If nothing else, being a graduate student at NYU will literally force you to become a well-read individual, albeit highstrung and prone to nervous breakdowns, and if you sift through the pretentious ofal of the student body you will meet some great people. Before accepting an invitation of admission from NYU, I absolutely recommend meeting with a professor or two and seeing if you can sit it on some classes before really, truly deciding you want to spend 2+ years feeling like you're being churned out of a vortex of despair.

I am first year grad student of real estate program. NYU is a huge institution and every process takes time due to procedural problems. However, the staff is professional enough to track any delays and sort it out in time. I see the students here are a combination of street smartness and cutting edge academic competence. Thats partly due to NYU being in the heart of New York city. This city is not for the faint hearted! It demands ur 100% efforts. Just like NYC, the strength of NYU and its reputation is realized slowly. NYU courses are more practical and global in nature. The real estate is extremely influential in the world real estate market, which is evident by the patronage NYU boasts of! For the more money minded, NYU might be costly but it pays heavily in the long run. None of the ivy leagues can match NYU's job placement track record. This a large, influential, dynamic, smart, private university. It is aggressive enough to launch a ruthless publicity campaign to attract talent(students & facultuy alike)from across the globe, and sensitive enough to handle its vast student population. NYU rocks! Dec 29 2007 Other

i graduated from ebonyi state university Nigeria but no sophisticated scientifi eqipments and no enough books in library. Sep 24 2007 Business - Management and Administration business management

The cirriculum is designed for full time students. If you are working while going to school, I recommend NYU's School of Continuing and Professional Studies. SCPS also has Master's degree, and a lot of hands-on things. Jan 15 2007 Computer Science

NYU School of Social work is the most expensive drive up window in the world. There is no concern for the individual student one they exit the Bursar's office. As an older student with alot of expeience in the helping fields, you are patronized and ecouraged to play down your knowledge and experience. The field placements on the other hand are all too ready tocapitalize onthe free labor and offer the minimal amount of education in return. Mentorship is beyond this institutions comprehension. As a socialwork school, NYU does not feel the need to interview so the entire student body is accepted as entities on paper and stays that way. There are close too thirty students in each class and if you thought that graduate level learning meant that you could ask more in depth questions of learned academics and professionals, think again. At NYU the adjunct faculty are only paid an amount equivalent to 1 students tuition in each of those classes of thirty students so they do not hold office hours, discussions, or tutorials of any kind. Despite giving lip service to advocacy, this institution thinks nothing of completely overiding any complaint or concern for the students. They are basically capitalizing on the desire of well meaning individuals to be better at serving the community. Many students are leaving feeling disgusted, enraged and ripped off. The NYU students in Social work are completely disenfranchised wiht n the school and one almost gets the feeling that the school thinks that that is an okay way to teach. If you are interested in clinical work go to Columbia or Yeshiva. NYU is coasting and creating a lot of bittereness as it capitalizes on the previous experience of the students that it claims to educate. Jul 05 2006 Social Work

WOW!!!NYU is a great school.Before joining this school i read few reviews about NYU and felt scared.But NYU is an excellent school and i am so happy with it.The professors are really nice and helpful.some of them are ssooooooo nice TRUST Me!!!The TA s are particularly so helpful and kind enough to make you understand the subject. The students are freindly except for some Blonde girls who show off their attitudes.Some of the courses are really great and betcha!!you will enjoy your education here and will cherish it as a memory forever.

This school is bad for people in the graduate school of arts and sciences, particularly the humanities and the social sciences. Avoid this school like the plague if you're in this category. Jan 28 2006 Cultures/Civilization

Steinhardt is a great school and would recommend it for anyone who is interested in researching music technology. Jun 22 2005 Music - Performance

Absolutely excellent school - the best there is to be found. Do not listen to anyone who says that this place offers nothing or that the people are unfriendly - the students and faculty are friendly, warm and caring, the university has amazing resources and academic facilities, and you get the opportunity to learn and interact with world-reknowned faculty and some of the smartest students in the country. NYU is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - yes, New York City is not for the faint of heart, and yes, you will have to wipe your own ass at NYU, but the place is just one hell of an educational experience - both academically and amongst peers - that it is not to be missed. If you get in, come here. You will not regret it. Feb 10 2005 Other

NYU is an excellent school to do your graduate studies. The Wagner School provides you with very solid skills you will need to do policy work and research. Faculty is generally quite strong and accomplished. Students are smart, very diverse and involved. It's a big school and takes a little initiative, but once you break the barrier (which isn't difficult) you will find it easy to meet others and feel connected. Required intro classes are a bit too large for my tastes, but knowledgeable faculty make up for it. Facilites are well maintained but cramped, especially considering that the policy school doesn't have its own building and we take classes in the undergraduate buildings. Other grad schools on campus have it better, especially business and law. This should be changing somewhat, however, with the pending announcement that we will soon have our own space in a landmark building. What can be said about NYC that hasn't been said before?There are opportunities for any type of work you might want to pursue here, and the well-connected faculty (and students)can open some doors to make that happen. Expensive? Yes. Hectic? Yes. But it is a part of your education as well. Jan 17 2003 Public Policy

I FIND THAT THOSE THAT ARE CRITICS OF NYU ARE THOSE THAT WERE NOT ACCEPTED THERE... I FIND NYU TO BE VERY GOOD IN ACADEMICS... IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS I KNOW ONCE I GRADUATE I WILL BE MAKING MORE MONEY AND BE A LOT MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN THOSE OF "SO CALLED COMPETITIVE" SCHOOLS.

NYU is very competive and challenging. I turned down Columbia University not because of price but because NYU made me feel more at home and like I place I would like to be associated with. Sep 05 2002 Accounting
