NYU is a wonderful university. It has great dorms, amazing facilities, brilliant profs, and people in general have lots of fun there. The economics department in CAS (which is used by students in Stern as well) is one of the best in the country. NYU has also recently made several high profile faculty hires in the econ. department…I'd say its probably one of the top 5 in the nation by now (along with Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, and MIT).

That being said, people's experiences can vary. NYU has various undergraduate schools…and each has its own profile, some are great, and some aren't. The good schools of NYU are the best around, while some others are pretty much overpriced.

NYU's cream of the crop:

CAS=the academic school where the liberal arts departments are. There is also a pre-professional component which churns out doctors, lawyers, and investment bankers.

Stern=a virtual pipeline to wall street, basically a finishing school for future corporate titans.

Tisch=some really talented and smart people, and some incredibly stupid freak artists as well…I guess they each other balance out. If you want to study things like film or drama, this school can't be beat though.

Gallatin=people who can take classes in any NYU school, get credit for just about anything…a small school but seems like a good deal. The Olsen twins are also making this school popular and competitive.

Not so hot NYU schools:

Steinhardt School of Ed.=people who study things like communication, nutrition, and nursing…to put it nicely, not the brighest people at NYU. At best, this is an overpriced education since people from these schools tend to go into mediocre occupations. Avoid it if money is an issue, people from other NYU schools consider this school a joke.

GSP=a program for those who were rejected from the NYU school they originally applied to, but for some reason NYU had to let them in (eg. they were kids of rich alumni, athletes, minorities, etc.). So after 2 years of a strict regimented schedule, NYU lets these GSPers transfer to the school they originally wanted to go to. Its a back door into NYU, and everyone knows it.

School of Social Work=why is this even at NYU? I'm not even sure if it actually exists. Nobody knows who these people are.
