Re: NYU and 1980s. “Commuter” may have wrong word, but I’m not sure what else to use!

NYU was in a lot of trouble in the 1970s. There were even questions about its viability. It was going through presidents the way urban school districts chew up superintendents and selling off real estate to stay solvent. It was definitely regional, not national, and many students (even those from out of state) “commuted” to school since the place didn’t have enough housing.

All of that began changing in the early 1980s, but I think the changes are even more pronounced today than when you applied in 1989.
