To keep it concise--the bulk of the studentQuite BrightLanguage - French/Spanish/etc.
To keep it concise--the bulk of the student population here is CLOSE MINDED, obnoxious, cliquey annoying, unfriendly, narcissistic, uncultured, ignorant, pretentious and bored. Everyone has a great sense of self entitlement. I don't know who some of these people think they are, but they're not New Yorkers, that's for sure.

Thank god I'm leaving. I'm excited to explore and do some fun and enjoyable things. I'm also looking forward to studying and learning. Another aspect of college I was expecting, but did not experience at NYU.To conclude my description of my experience here...it has been a major waste of time, credits and money. I mean it hasn't been a complete waste of time though. I did gain one thing! Depression.

Question
The work here is challenging.Average
The work here is challenging. That is rather enjoy that aspect of it, but the student body leaves much to be desired. There is not much commodore, but usually just people trying to impress each other with new music that they found and no one else can listen to. The most frustrating feature that... at least my roommates and I have noticed, is that so many of the girls here are just looking for men to have sex with them. I have had so many women here tell me about their boyfriends that they are cheating on while I kiss them, which just completely ruins it for me. I do not want to ruin a relationship, but there are just so many slutty girls looking for someone to fill them for the night. I thought there were supposed to be more more intellectuals here, but mostly just horny hipsters that want to be above other people. I do not know if that interests you or not, but that is just an observation.

Question
I hate the typical student at my school.Quite BrightArt & Design Department
I hate the typical student at my school. I am a senior now, and I can confidently describe each and every student of this school. EVERYONE thinks they are so hipster, nonconformist, artsy, elitist as soon as they are admitted into this school. I was admitted and that does not mean I have to be an asshole to everyone else. It is like the name of this school tells each admitted student that they are just the coolest and smartest. I have something to tell all new and perspective students: ITS A LIE. Coming to this school does not make you God, you are not better than anyone. In fact I feel that in my time here, a lot of my friends that have gone to schools focused more on critical thinking, rather than objective truth busy work that is so prevalent at NYU have made a much better foundation for life. I do regret my time at NYU mainly because I hate the attitude that students get when they come into this school. Get over yourselves, your not better than anyone.
