MBA Business is top 15 in the US

It is far more comprehensive university than GWU.

NYU is academically superior to GWU. But I would say they are VERY similar in feel for undergraduate experience.

In terms of wealthiness of the student population, I would agree. But DC is no NYC, so the undergraduate experience is substantially different.

NYU and USC have similar students and tons of cross applicants.

Yes, USC does have very strong research programs in engineering and computer science afaik.

NYU kids all go clubbing and bounce around the city mingling with random people. At least boys in frats or whatever have been vetted by admissions - who's vetting the random creeps your gullible teen daughter meets around NYC? Nobody! In December there was just a random homicide of that Columbia gal uptown in Harlem.

Uh, that did not occur in Harlem.

Yes it was in Harlem although it was a Barnard student.

Morningside Park is in Morningside Heights — which is not “Harlem” *

*Yes, I’ve been there.

And in comparison NYU engineering school is not as good as its other graduate schools.

I attended GWU for a year and a half and then transferred to NYU and I would say they are pretty similar in terms of undergraduate experience. Obviously DC is not NYC, but of all the universities in the US I would say that GWU and NYU are probably the most similar. They are both large private universities in urban settings that attract independent go-getters who can succeed without hand holding. They are also similar in the sense that the community is what YOU make of it (e.g., there is no real overarching community like there is at say, Princeton). GWU’s campus is slightly more campus-y than NYU’s but both are very integrated into the city and not a traditional campus. They are good for students want college experiences that are a little different than what one might envision when they hear “college.” Actually the whole reason I picked NYU is because I liked GWU a lot and wanted a similar experience and feel but I realized as a sophomore that I wanted to major in business and that’s not really GWU’s forte.

Both also have crappy administration with too many levels of bureaucracy.

Academically, I would say NYU over GWU for sure unless you want IA. But experience wise, coming from someone who has done both, I think they are a lot more similar than different.

What do you think is “substantially” different about the undergraduate experience?

The caliber of the professors, the caliber of the students (they may be rich but they are also smart) and the location and feel. DC west end is not desirable but the village is an established creative center know worldwide. NYU also has tons of celebrities, models and children of both. It has an insider/ cool kids feel that does not exist at GW. NYU also have a global presence and reputation. As far as the undergrad experience NYU sends more students abroad than any other institution. NYU students have access to significantly more professions and cultural institutions than GW. Be it theatre, fashion, business, law, media, medicine, education (etc.) they access to the best minds at school and private industry. They also have a ton of loyal alumni in the fore mentioned fields. It does something well because it is a top 10 school for having millionaire alumni.

Substantially different in that Manhattan is substantially different southwest DC. Manhattan is the center of the US in finance, marketing, media, journalism, performing arts, big law, etc., and NYU has taken advantage of its location very well in recent years. DC is 1/10th the size of NYC.

So you swapped out one mediocre hellhole of an urban university for another.....brilliant.

NYU is GW in NYC

+1. Same tier as Tulane and SMU.

All city schools that is about it. US news. NYU 29, GW 70, Tulane 40 and SMU 64. NYU is 29 in the times global and 30 in the times US, it’s also 35 in Forbes 2019. I think your information may be dated just like you. Stuck in a loop of old information.

Oh look, a striver tiger mom who obsessively studies the US News list.

Huh? I had a great experience at both and offered exactly what I wanted out of a college experience. They are not for everyone, though.

GW isn’t even close to NYU. NYU is in a different league. I love DC but NYC offers so much more for people when they are younger - only problem is that it’s so expensive!

This has nothing to do with 'striving', whatever that means. It's comparing GW and NYU has overall institutions. Courant, the undergraduate business school Stern and Tisch have undergraduate students. You have to be an idiot not to understand that.
