“Great Books” curriculum called GSP

as an undecided major walk don't run

away from NYU unless you love writing

papers and reading boring material ad

infinitum.  Heavy workload.  The Third Ave.  North

apt.  resident hall for freshmen is

extremely poorly maintained and no

one cares when you have a problem

like a major water leak wrecking all

your clothes, etc.  The study lounges

are dirty and bare.  The layout of

apts.  make it harder to make friends

on your floor here.  Everything you

read about NYU being a heavy drug use

school is totally correct.  Some profs

were anti Christian.  If you are a

religious conservative you will not make

it here unless you are on a wellness floor,

maybe not even then.  NYU is vastly overrated and overpriced.  Elite large research institutions cater to

grad students and research so frosh get

left in the lurch, except for helping to

finance everybody else.  No sports team,

no team spirit, no quad.  Student health

center gives very mediocre care. 

You would be much better off if you want

the arts to live at home or off campus

with a friend you bring to school and

going to a state college in an honor's

program.  Only positive thing I can say

is of course NYC is wonderful for Broadway

fans and NYU has a lot of extra curricular

groups.  The Protestant ministry office

isn't powerful enough to be a source of guidance/

unifying influence like the Jewish center,
