Question
NYU is a great school.Quite BrightPsychology
NYU is a great school. I am in the McGhee division (adult re-entry program) and have found my advisor to be excellent and my professors to be friendly, encouraging, and intellegent. If you're serious about your education and have the maturity and drive to succed, then NYU is for you. My classes are small and find that the people are friendly and open. It's true that there is some red tape but you have to know what you want and make your advisor give you the information you need. Ask questions and let them know what your plans are for the future so that they can help you acheive your goals. The work load is tough and challenging especially if you have to work a job, but it is managable if you know how to organize your time. I was able to acheive a 4.0 through hard work and time management since most of my classes. I find that there are always workshops and lectures to help get you into grad school or find jobs in your field, clubs and activities to meet people,and the best place to expose yourself to cultural diversity in the world. If you are looking to be the best in your field, NYU gives you that opportunity. It's up to you if you want to succed.

Question
If you want to be a student atQuite BrightPerfomance Arts
If you want to be a student at NYU you have to be prepared to work on your own. You MUST be independant. You MUST be a self-starter. The school doesn't need to help you so it doesn't. The faculty is great, but you have to ask for what you need. If you are not driven or ambitious, you will fail. If you expect things handed to you on a silver platter this is not the school for you. But if you are these things, it is the best experience that anyone can ever have.
