Question
Don't come here if you are not inQuite BrightPreMed and Medical
Don't come here if you are not in Tisch or Stern because it will not be worth it. People are not as intelligent as I thought they would be. It is really disappointing to see all the GSP, Gallatin, Nursing, Stein, SCPS students who simply don't belong here. I don't feel challenged even though I'm taking orgo and physics together. atmosphere is somber and morose: always raining. Walking is draining. Ppl, just sickening. Luckily I'm transferring to an Ivy League next semester.

Question
This is hands down the worst possible placeQuite Bright
This is hands down the worst possible place to go for undergraduate education. I feel so thoroughly disappointed in NYU that it almost sickens me to think that I wanted to come here. It is too big, overwhelming, elitist, and overrated. This website says it all: look at all of the negative comments and take them into consideration before you come here. Go somewhere, anywhere else but here. Please trust us.
