| As a native new yorker, NYU to me is:
1. A great business school in Stern(also like 75% Asian and they are all from tristate area), somewhat overrated, as its recruiting and considering their location isn't as good as people think. Stern undergrad facilities are pretty pathetic compared to its peers.
2. Some very unique schools within NYU that are very good, but often overlooked as being "easy".
3. Lack of campus, or should I say NYC is their campus. Library is scary looking from the top.
4. Arts and Science is very good, but tends to be underrated. And NYU is a very good school, but as a whole seems to be a school for the Cornell/Columbia rejects.
5. Applied Math(Courant) is great.
6. Lots of students from the tristate area, also tends to have a lot of commuters because of this, resulting in some lack of campus cohesiveness, and typical college experiences are lacking as a result. |
