[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is this incredible space, it is called Central Park. It is 2.5 miles long and .5 mile wide. Its a total of 843 acres.

GREEN SPACE.[/quote]

NYU/Greenwich Village is not really close to Central Park. It’s an 35-45 min on the train. [/quote]

You are right that it isn't close and I would not factor Central Park into my decision to go to NYU. But your time estimate to get there is way off - it is 15-20 minutes away. I live near Central Park and have worked near NYU. Trust me.

NYU has very little green space if that is important to you. I believe they just completely renovated the gym and it isn't hard to get to parks if that is important. But you aren't going to walk out your door and play frisbee on a quad like at many other schools. But there are a number of other things that potentially offset that. Like being in the greatest city in the world. Which could be overwhelming for some but could be an incredible opportunity for others.

I live in NYC so would never send my kid there - they need to go away to college, especially after growing up in the city. But for many kids, it is an incredible place. Your kid really needs to know who they are. I got so tired of the DCUM binaries of good and bad. NYU is not good or bad. Just because it isn't good for your kid doesn't make it bad. So everyone should manage their tone.[/quote]
