There was a little construction going on in the park but overall it looked pretty nice, surprisingly quaint for being in the middle of the city.

I really enjoyed the campus and the flair of Greenwich Village. With all the students it seems like a really cool place to be.

Off-Campus:


Area Immediately Around Campus:

It's New York City, that's pretty self explanatory. Greenwich village is pretty laidback and a lot of it is residential so it was quiter than the more touristy areas of the city.


City/Town/Community:

Once again, the opportunities are endless in New York.

Campus Visit Notes for New York University


Visit Description:

Overall the visit was great, even though the information session was cut short by a fire drill. The tour guide was extremely helpful and answered any questions we had that hadn't been answered or didn't have a chance to arise in the info session. The visit made me really excited about the college process which I'm just starting and I think gave me a pretty good impression of NYU and what it would be like to be a student there. It was a very nice day.
