Academically, you really can’t make a mistake–both are fine schools and you can obtain a great education at either.

Culturally, they are very different. NYU is large, urban and has little sense of community. The community is the Village, and if you absolutely live and breath Manhattan–you will love NYU.

Brandeis is small (for a research university), suburban (but only 9 miles from Boston), and is all about community. It will be much more of a traditional college experience.

Frankly, its silly to argue about “which is better.” They are both good–you have to decide which is a better fit for you.
