Huh?

Was trying to make a connection as to why NYU ranks high in ROI (in another list they are #5). I did not attend NYU and neither did oldest DC who attended a top school on this list. Youngest DC considering NYU among many schools, but is way off making a decision.

However NYU is a very popular option at both my DC’s private schools in DC. They hold the most real estate of any university in the US and in the most expensive city.

NYU Grads I have met loved it. On the other hand, I have met quite a few people who attended schools that are much higher ranked who were not happy with their undergrad  experiences (Harvard, Yale, Berkeley) . I are just as much about my DC’s mental health and happiness as future earnings.

Funny, I know way more NYU undergrad alums, older and recent, who do not speak highly of their experience.[/quote]

Did your friends graduate more than 10-15 years ago? It looks like rankings have improved dramatically over past 10-15 years. Some of this may be location, location, location as others have said. But it looks like the school is investing a lot in quality of life.

Again, I am not shilling for NYU but one child is definitely considering applying. It looks pretty good to me. I care a lot about mental health and happiness of my children.
