Fist and Foremost the Majority of the negativeQuite BrightEconomics
Fist and Foremost the Majority of the negative comments on here are from people who got REJECTED from nyu and decided to take their anger out on here.

I will give you guys some pros and cons of nyu.
Pros
-Excellent Education
-Amazing location (greenwich village is amazing)
- DIverse student body, people from around the world come here.
- Great ranking and name recognition
Cons:
-Very expensive. With all expenses nyu will cost $60,000/ year.
-Arrogant People (You will find them at any top college)
-No campus ( basically new york city is your campus)

Other things to Note
- You have to stick yourself out their and be social. Don't be reserved or else it's hard to meet people.

-The city is not for everyone. A bunch of people transfer because they don't get the real college experience. NYU is not known for sports and all that.

- More women than men. And 30% of the males are Gay. (this can be a good thing for straight males)
- NYU prepares you for real life.
Overall
If you are a independent, social, hard working individual then by all means this is the school for you.

If you are a bit on the shy side and reserved, its gonna tend to be hard making friends so you might not like nyu.
