[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's possible that NYU is more selective than Oberlin, and it's possible that simply being in New York makes it a better option for students in some fields than Oberlin.

But, because of the low aid, it has a reputation for being full of snotty rich kids who aren't that serious about learning and probably aren't great employees. Another problem is that a lot of the West Village looks pretty terrible right now. I would only choose NYU over Oberlin if the NYU aid package were great, being in New York was critical or you knew a specific program was clearly better at NYU.[/quote]

PP NYU is not located in the West Village, the campus center is Washington Square Park which is iconic and beautiful!  That's why when Harry Met Sally, Ghostbusters and so many other movies or TV shows film in Washington Square.

I am sorry you think rich people are lazy and NYU's graduates are lazy too.  The major contributions of the University's graduates in so many fields fly in the face of your belief. But if you prefer Oberlin that is awesome just don't admit its a preference or prejudice. (Everyone has them just don't pretend its based on unknown NYU graduates being lazy)[/quote]

If you check US News, NYU is in the same cluster as mid-level state universities.  https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities

If you are paying full price or nearly so, I can understand why you need to convince yourself of the value of NYU.  To be blunt, I think you are paying premium for its location. [/quote]
