This is a sarcastic response, right? It's a bunch of incongruent buildings, some old, some new, some ugly, with no sense of campus or together-ness. NYU holds their graduation at Yankees Stadium outside of the city because they literally don't have a great lawn or area on their co-called campus where they can hold a graduation ceremony or gathering of any size larger than 200 people [/quote]

No, seriously it's perfectly integrated into the capital city of the world. With Washington Square Park serving as its central hub, the vibe is truly unmatched by schools stuck in the middle of nowhere with boredom. [/quote]

:lol:  The "vibe" of NYU is urban, concrete, and rats.  Enjoy![/quote]

Seriously who prefers drinking in the middle of nowhere vibe.[/quote]

Much prefer a beautiful, pastoral setting to the crime-ridden, noisy, concrete jungle, but YDY.[/quote]

Enjoy MAGA country for us, if cities scare you that much. I’m surprised the internet connection in your impoverished rural hellscape is strong enough to post on DCUM.[/quote]

All this vitriol for someone making the obvious point that NYU is not exactly what comes to mind when people ask about beautiful college campuses?  [/quote]
Meh. They’re both in the wrong. Other poster called NYC crime ridden, which is frankly bullshit.[/quote]

It's crime ridden compared to Sewanee, TN, and Gambier, OH.[/quote]

Again, this is an Arsenal versus San Antonio Spurs comparison.  Two small towns versus the most populated city in the US.

My DS at NYU travels around Manhattan on the subway at all hours without any difficulty.

Manhattan has a substantially lower rate of violent crime than other US cities (he’s actually much safer there than in his home Top 30 metro) and a lower rate of property crime than other US cities (again lower than his city of origin).

Violent crime in Manhattan is also at historic lows, which is true of a lot of US cities.

I actually feel sad for people who believe they have to send their kids to schools like Sewanee and Kenyon to feel safe.

No one cares that you're triggered.  NYU is not a "most beautiful campus" by any stretch of the imagination, so you're on the wrong thread.

LOL, yes, the PP seems very defensive of their kid's choice to attend NYU. I posted earlier about different strokes. You want urban, go for it. My kids both wanted real college campuses, not a bunch of different buildings in a city...doesn't matter even if it is a city they would love to eventually live in. They had a definite picture in their mind what they wanted in their college life, and that involved walking around a peaceful quad between classes, not waiting at a cross walk as cars and bikers rush by.[/quote]

Both this and the previous post are very odd.  I was actually one of the posters who said that it would be hard to characterize NYU as beautiful.  I did, however, refute the absurdity that it is crime ridden as some here have done.  Nor did I comment, positively or negatively, on your kid’s school choice.  Perhaps, this post and the earlier one are meant to be deflections from this.  [/quote]
