[quote=Anonymous]Not sure where the comments about different teaching style come from - the vast majority of the professors are drawn from the US and western universities, and the commitment from the university is to provide a U.S.-style liberal arts education to all students.  Students spend 3 years in Shanghai, and two semesters abroad at another NYU campus or study-away program (New York is most popular, but there's also Abu Dhabi and a dozen other cities around the world).  NYU Shanghai is definitely not for everyone - it's best for adventurous, open-minded kids who want to challenge/immerse themselves in both a Chinese and international cultural environment and in an amazing city.  At the same time, western students there can also easily live in an expat bubble - they have access to a very stable/powerful VPN that gives them full access to western websites - NYTimes, Instagram, Google, etc; socialize only with western classmates, etc.  There is a bit of a divide between the Chinese and western students - the Chinese kids study a lot harder and party less, making the curves in some of the classes the Chinese kids prefer (Math, Comp Sci, sciences) a bit tough.   And yes, you can't smoke pot or touch any other drugs while there - the Chinese will kick you out.   [/quote]
