I do think that students are captivated by the allure of New York (Gossip Girl, etc) without really understanding its negatives. Heck had my older brothers (who both spent time in NYC, one working, one interning) not warned me so aggressively I might have not realized its impact on college life. In my class (high school) we have a couple students going to Columbia, I think they are really into the prestige, but don’t understand fully what they are getting into. Same goes for NYU.
