[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to NYU undergrad - Tisch film and SAS politics double major. I was the first in my family to go to college.

I'd never go there again. Definitely will not send my kid to that school. It's sooooooooo easy to get lost in the bureaucracy. Zero sense of school spirit and camaraderie. The city is way too distracting - in both good (excellent internships year-round) and negative (too much drugs and clubbing) ways.

It's a great school for very wealthy kids who will take over a family-run company and are guaranteed success throughout life. I knew a lot of kids like that. Tons of wealth at NYU and kids will flaunt it. If you're from a middle or working class family, you will get a crash course in reality and the class divide.

The kids I knew in pre-med majors seemed to be the most grounded and hard working. The kids at Stern were your typical douch'y finance bros from the Tristate area. Tisch was weird - it was a mix of art'y kids from middle class background who really shouldn't have been taking out that much money in loans and wealthy kids from established Hollywood/art families whose parents could guarantee them a great job in the industry.

If you really have your heart set on Tisch, my advice would be to do the graduate-level film program. [/quote]

I'll also add that I was at NYU during 9/11. The school did a very good job accommodating students, communicating, and getting students re-housed as quickly as possible. There was a huge dorm down on Water Street a few blocks from the WTC that had to be closed. My friend who lived there slept on my floor for a couple days until NYU had a hotel room ready for him. Excellent disaster preparedness. We were back at classes within one week. I believe a few kids who at internships at WTC were killed.  [/quote]
