Well there is no real 'campus' at NYU, since the campus really is just New York City. Not the place for everyone, but if you visit it and really feel at home, then you've found a great

Campus Visit Notes for New York University


Visit Description:

I definitely recommend to everybody to tour NYU. You really have to visit it to get a real feel for the area. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did, because I had only heard that it was in the city, but as soon as I visited it, I knew it was perfect. NYC isn't for everybody, which is why the tour is extremely necessary. But i guarantee you, if you're a city-lover, then it'll be perfect.

Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):

Subway was very convenient, which is why I don't suggest driving due to the heavy traffic.
