I
just finished up my first year at nyu and i
absolutley LOVE it. I would never dream of going anywhere
else. Granted, as many others have said, this school is
not for everyone. Dont even bother applying to nyu if
you have a small town mentality or dream of sprawling
quads and football games. Thats exactly what makes nyu
so great—its different atmosphere and totally atypical college experience. Who
needs a patch of grass and a stupid quad to
have fun?!? I dont know what anyone is talking about
when they say there isnt a social life here—there is
SO much to do its mind bottling. While most college
kids are sitting in their dorms “partying” or sitting around
a dirty frat house with a keg, us NYU-ers are
hitting the bars, clubs, pubs, hookah lounges, everything! We DO
also have house/dorm parties on occasion though, and there are
a few frats that throw pretty sick parties. NYC has
EVERYTHING imaginable. Anyone who claims theres no social life here
isnt trying, period. You just have to be outgoing and
look for things to do! obvoiusly if you sit around
your room and mope all day you'll have a crappy
social life.
There is so much diversity here, its so
refreshing. No one here is a carbon copy of the
next, everyone is completley unique. You just have to find
your niche and with 17,000 undergrads you're bound to find
it.
Of coarse there are a fair share of obnoxious
trust fund, filthy rich people but they're easy to ignore.
In terms of the academics? they're great! I've never learned
so much or enjoyed so many of my classes although
the requirements can get annoying. NYU has fabulous professors and
a degree from NYU can and will get you far
in the job market. Not to mention you will have
an EXTREME advantage on others when you graduate due to
the amazing oppertunities nyc offers.
