“Though I can say New York University was ranked number one by princetonreview for worst financial aid, and that is really bad.”

Its financial aid is not “really bad.” Not for Pell Grant recipients or academically/testing strong students with low EFCs. For everyone else, perhaps. But, NYU provides excellent financial aid to disadvantaged and lower middle class applicants.

It happens that most students who enroll at NYU are from wealthy families, who would receive no grant assistance. And, they complain to the Princeton Review. That would explain it.
