new york university is an academically strenuous and challenging school in the heart of downtown new york city. the campus is new york city, with lots of grand old buildings, mainly centered around washington square park. each of their programs are superior to most schools and the workload expected of the students can be daunting at times.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
the school is not cheap. new york is a tough city and students must be independent, hard workers to make it in the school, and especially in the city upon graduation. nyu and nyc are not good places to mess around. you've got to be serious. and for the amount of money you're paying, you should be. and most likely if you got in, you will be.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
it is difficult to understand how the professors expect the students to possibly get all the work done that they have to, but somehow they manage. the courses are definitely difficult, but the plus side of being in new york city is that many of the professors have connections to the industries the students someday hope to be a part of, allowing room for connections and even some in-class field work. new york is pretty much the center of the world, with the forefront of virtually every industry based there.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
there are enough opportunities to get involved in dorm life, but most likely, you will have so much work to do that you wont have time for this. be choosey and save time for what you especially enjoy. ny is a big city, and there is a lot to do off campus.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
food in the dining halls is fine. but, if you can afford it, there are some really spectacular restaurants in greenwich village and beyond. there are also lots of spectacular cheap places to visit. dining in new york is a thrilling hunt that continues in each neighborhood you visit. basically, there is too much good food out there to eat in dining halls all the time.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
the city might be the best thing about the school. people are always on the streets at every hour and it is impossible to be bored. there are 1000s of restaurants, museums, parks, libraries, landmarks, shops and activities to choose from. the school is centered around some very cool neighborhoods (east village, west village, soho, gramercy, tribecca, midtown, chelsea, ect.) but new york is an island filled with something for everyone. the subway makes for easy transportation and city biking is also an option. this is a hard paragraph to respond to because there are too many answers. new york has something for everyone.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
the school is dramatically more expensive than any school ever should be. it's a joke and who knows how they get away with it. a lot of rich kids go to school here, but there are also a lot of average kids who want it bad enough that they make sacrifices. the best things about the school are 1) the city it is located in, 2) the connections that the professors have to the industries 3) the other students you meet that have a passion for their field as much as you do. those are the things that make nyu stimulating and inspiring.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
flurry is an ice skating party that kicks off the winter season at woolman rink in central park and it is super fun. it's a free event and there is a candy tent, where you can stuff a bag full of candy: for free!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
hard working driven students. people who find a way and never give up. people who will sacrifice their love lives for the sake of their careers. people who want to be the best. people that want to create something exceptional. people that love an urban environment.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
there are about a million clubs at the school. many ways to get involved in whatever it is that you like. there is also an exceptional (expensive) study abroad program that no one has ever had a negative word about. there are alumni programs that will help you find a job, and great career services to benefit from.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
there are some fraternities and sororities, but joining them is not necessary to be accepted at the university community.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
it's great. there are nyu busses, security guards everywhere, and if you ever need a ride from one nyu location to another, usually late at night, security will pick you up and take you to your desired on campus location. the security staff is relatively friendly, but this is ny.
