Are classes at NYU Steinhardt difficult?

<p>I got accepted into NYU Steinhardt for education.</p>

<p>First of all, I got 20k in scholarship money. I also found out that you only need a 2.0 GPA to keep the scholarship. </p>

<p>Since 2.0 seems unreasonably low, are the classes incredibly hard? (or are their standards just low?)</p>

<p>P.S.
TCNJ vs NYU!?
I’m getting 8k from TCNJ, and 20k from NYU.
The total costs from NYU will be around 7k more than if I went to TCNJ. (finances are important for me)</p>

<p>I really like NYU because it’s in the city and the name is more well known, but is it worth going there for another 7,000 dollars per year?</p>

<p>NYU classes are just like any other university. It depends on your efforts and the professor’s style of teaching. Theres always easy and hard classes.</p>

<p>thanks for the quick response</p>

<p>any thoughts on the money issue? :smiley:
-i’d hate to get kicked out because I can’t maintain a 2.0! (or 3.0 at TCNJ)</p>

<p>um, are you seriously comparing TCNJ to NYU?!</p>

<p>well yeah…
and i know NYU is probably way better, but money is very important to my family at the moment</p>

<p>plus, many ppl say TCNJ gets ppl into good grad schools…
-and since i’m only going into teaching, do i really need a “top education” for a low paying field?</p>

<p>Picking TCNJ over NYU isn’t outrageous at all…I’ve seen tons of kids from NJ (which I assume the OP is from), pick TCNJ over schools better than NYU.</p>
