It's a very safe area. Btw, I commute so I take the subway all the time, and it's not sketchy until after midnight or later. I'm also a small girl and I've never been in a bad situation. You have to use your common sense, so don't walk around alone at 2 a.m...but overall you shouldn't have to worry.

coolant, I sympathize with you if USD is like LSP.

See the thing is, most colleges require liberal arts classes - writing seminars and such. I'm fine with that. But in LSP there is no freedom. Sure, we get 1 elective a semester - guess what, my elective has to be another required course! This semester, my elective is Environmental Sci - because sci is required. Next semester, my elective will be the required Global cultures course. In soph yr, there are more required courses.

At first I was fine with this, but now I don't even want to go into CAS after LSP. I'm not gonna get into details, but it doesn't have what I'm looking for academically.

OP, rest assured NYU is a great school and you will most likely be happy there, especially since you know it has what you want. I applied undecided and very confused 1 yr ago, and now my goals are different.
