<p>Thanks for all the answers. I’m sure my daughter and her friend can settle for living in the same building, I was just curious. 
My d’s friend hasn’t been admitted yet, in any case, though apparently he has been notified by Tisch that he passed the audition there. I guess there must be some sort of academic review on top of that before a final decision is made. </p>
<p>My d. is a dancer and NYU wasn’t even on her list, because she wants an academic major but doesn’t want to give up dance, and her main focus is choreography. The Tisch dance program doesn’t really leave time for much else, and courses aren’t open to outside students. She went to NY last September to interview at Barnard, but she was alone & needed a place to stay, so she stayed with a friend in his dorm room at NYU… and fell in love with the school. She also had a wonderful interview at Barnard, and of course is waiting on an answer from them. She also has applied to Fordham, but never visited – she just added Fordham at the last minute as a safety. She wants the Lincoln Center campus. So if she goes to NY, she’ll stay the week and spend time visiting whatever colleges have admitted her. However, NYU is definitely her top choice. (Though a Barnard admit would make it a tough call!) </p>
<p>She will be staying at the home of a NYU faculty member (this is a friend-of-a-friend situation, not something offered by the school) --so she certainly will have a good opporunity to explore and make her final decision.</p>
<p>Of course it all depends on finances working out. And a $600 trip to the east coast right now doesn’t exactly help. (Its already too late for a discount fare).</p>
