Visit Activities:
Information Session: No - Inspirational, they selected the best speakers from Tisch. One memorable moment was when the main speaker made a comment about NYU not being for people who like rolling hills-i love rolling hills.
Campus Tour: No - NYU doesn't really have a campus, but we walked around the Tisch facilities. If you are going to film school for the equipment, go to Chapman or USC, not NYU or UCLA, but they have all the key s

Campus Visit Notes for New York University
Visit Description:
I'll be brief. I love film. When selecting schools my criteria pretty much boiled down to the school not being in hick-town, and having a strong film program. When I was accepted to Tisch, I was thrilled. When I visited, I realized I wasnt really a city person (and at NYU its all about the city, there isnt really school spirit, there is city spirit), the cost wasnt worth it (despite the scholarships) and I didnt click with the people. Also, I decided that I didnt want to limit myslef to film, I also love music and graphic design, it turns out that a "design" major may be a more apt fit for my passions. I plan to attend UCLA next year, half the cost and twice the potential.
