Kids here vary quite a bit. But I think it's safe to say that almost all of us love New York. I personally find the Stern kids quite nice. There is a certain stigma attached to them as being money-hungry, stuck-up, etc., but I find it generally to be not true.
With all this said, I am considering transferring to another university. But this is mostly a choice based on personal prefernce mainly because of the acadmic program, which I feel suits be better at the other school, and also because I feel that NYU lacks intellectualism and drive among students. Mind you there are many very smart kids here, but as a whole, I just don't feel it that much.In conclusion, NYU is an AWESOME school, that will change you. It is a place where you can thrive but with determination on your part. I would say that is easy to feel isolated and alone here, but again if you make an effort to make friends and do well in school, it should not be a problem at all.
It's a great school for students who take initiative and go after what they want, don't need to be coddled, and who don't expect to make more than a few really good friends. City life can be intense, but it opens a lot of doors in terms of what the city has to offer, and to develop professional networks and gain internship experience.
The size of the school DOES matter. You have a lot of choice in terms of classes and there are a lot of great professors, but you have to fight for what you want sometimes. There is very little 'school spirit' or campus community, and many students feel alienated and atomized in such an anonymous, overwhelming 'campus' setting. More than any other school I know of, NYU is a Corporate University, although this has not necessarily lessened academic integrity so far.Expensive. Everything's expensive.
