[quote=Anonymous]I went there for undergrad and grad, but it was years ago now. I loved it, but there were downsides -- it really was like living as an independent person in the city...very little sense of community. I don't know how I would have made friends if I didn't live in the dorm for my first two years of undergrad. What PP said about "swimming with the sharks" is kind of true -- you have to be very independent and a self-starter who is able to take advantage of all the university and city has to offer. NYU doesn't really provide much support or guidance, you have to really seek it and carve out a niche for yourself. Is it worth the tremendous expense? I'm really not so sure, and I say that as someone who really values my experience. If my kids wanted to go, I would recommend a smaller school with a sense of community where they could be a bigger fish in a smaller pond, and then consider NYU for graduate school.[/quote]
