I honestly wouldn't pick any other school over this one. There's something so calming about attending NYU. NYU fosters independence and ambition!

The community at NYU is wonderful. There are a diverse amount of clubs and many ways to meet new people. The campus itself is a "campus without walls". The NYC branch doesn't have a formal campus but does not negatively impact social life. Academics are great with a variety of fields of study. The dining halls are variable in quality, but not bad.

Worst decision ever. Too expensive and don’t help you with anything afterwards.

Rampant crime around campus and professors dont teach.

I am currently in the Masters of Social Work program at NYU, and so far, it's been terrible. The students are not very nice/welcoming and many of the professors seemingly actively try to place barriers in your way. The administration and structure put in place to help you do nothing. Attend at your own risk!

I feel so lonely here, Manhattan is nice but too busy and chaotic. NYU is overrated.
Overall 2
This is probably the most overrated university there is. Very expensive and lots of poorly qualify professors. Tones of students drop up because not help them when is necessary. I had a better education and college experience in a smaller college. Do yourself a favor and go to a school that foster learning.
