[quote=Anonymous]Lots of NYU hate on this board but one of my kids graduated from there pre-covid and the education was rigorous, no shortage of coursework, never had trouble getting into class, advising was excellent.

The financial aid has a bad reputation but my kid received a full tuition scholarship. Back in the day, my brother received a full ride. However, my kid had a friend whose financial aid decreased after freshman years (he was already taking loans) and had to transfer. I think they use money to attract the students they want and financial aid can be skewed that way. On the other hand, they only use CSS freshman year and FAFSA after that, which was beneficial to us. My other kids attended CSS schools and the schools determined less need than NYU.

One drawback was there was no cafeteria in his dorm freshman year and kid complained of lines. My kid is not terribly organized and often skipped meals because they didn't plan well.

It's a real city school and that has advantages and disadvantages. My kid was looking for a small, rural school but his major was much stronger at NYU than the small schools to which they were admitted. In the end, kid has moved to NYC and loves the city.
