<p>Not that I am a gay or anti-gay, I would like to know how many exactly gays there are at NYU.</p>

<p>NYU is my dream school, but the ratio of men and women seem disportional. Also I heard there are alot of gays… Again, I am not an anti homosexual,but I would prefer going to school where there are more straight people. </p>

<p>These are some issues that worry me when applying NYU… Please don’t get me wrong, I am not a gay hater. </p>

<p>I mean… if anyone goes to NYU… are there so many homosexulas that they bother you ever???</p>

<p>homophobics scare me</p>

3

<p>what exactly do you mean by " bother you " ? are you concerned about being approached in a sexual manner by a homosexual person, or just being near them ?</p>

<p>“I am not an anti homosexual,but I would prefer going to school where there are more straight people.”</p>

<p>ummmm…</p>

<p>Well, I on the other hand see OP’s point of view. I don’t know if girl or boy, but if a girl, there needs to be a high enough proportion of handsome straight guys to date. If too many homosexuals, there would be too much competition for guys. If a guy, there is less concern (from a dating standpoint) because now a surplus of girls to date.</p>

<p>If u go to NYU, YOURE IN NYC. </p>

<p>If there is a shortage of women, you can always head over to a party at Pace, Columbia, Fordham, ec</p>

<p>which is what all the straight guys do here essentially… not</p>

8

<p>i just can’t imagine being at a school where like 20%are gays… i just don’t like that</p>

<p>I think you should stay away from NYU. I can’t imagine you being very comfortable there. If being in a school that welcomes people of all sexual orientations and gender identities bothers you, then NYU is not going to be a dream come true for you.</p>

<p>And while I don’t think you hate “gay people,” whatever you think that means, I do think you’re afraid of them, which is not a whole ton better if you want to attend NYU.</p>

10

<p>well you know what they say: straight comes out half gay</p>

11

<p>haha, or “gay by may.”</p>

<p>yeah, i don’t think NYU is the place for you, gogobet.</p>

12

<p>ok guys . thanks for the help. </p>

<p>i mean… what can u say when I really do not prefer being with homosexuals? that’s just how i feel just like you feel comfortable with gays</p>

<p>NYU is in Greenwich Village, and there are people of all types that go to the school and live in the area. I went to NYU and lived in Greenwich Village afterward for 14 years. I loved the fact that there are all types of people…gay, straight, pierced, punked, inked, and even a few that pass as “normal” every now and again. It is a very accepting environment. If you are looking for a more traditional school experience, then NYU may not be the right choice. I loved it though.</p>

<p>If, however, you are just concerned about finding straight guys to go out with, no worries. NYU and the Village have tons of those. There were no shortage of guys to go out with and I even met my husband there.</p>

<p>I think this person is a guy, and as for the topic, what can I say? There are plenty of gay people at NYU. If you’re uncomfortable with them, that makes you at least on some level homophobic. You should probably look at a school not ranked by The Princeton Review as the #3 most gay-friendly in the country.</p>

<p>I saw more gays in the first week than I saw in my entire life (which doesn’t say much).</p>

<p>One of my classes of like 15-16 has like 5-6 gays</p>

<p>I should mention that I don’t interact with homos AT ALL so I guess besides the 2-3 hours a week in that class, I’m good to go.</p>

<p>If you go to the art/acting school, I’d imagine the numbers are much much much higher.</p>

<p>Edit: Oh, but I did stop eating one time because buddy was so damn flamboyant that I was about to barf.</p>

<p>I can’t quite grasp how people in this age group have such issues with gays.
As a mother that came of age in the late 70’s and early 80’s where homophobia was rampant, but have children that’s generation has become so much tolerant than mine, I am surprised to see such negative comments here.</p>

<p>Why should you really care about your classmate’s orientation ? If you are not comfortable hanging out with them outside of the academic environment so be it…
I have friends with gay children ( one of whom is a freshman at NYU ) and I have a daughter who attends a college with a sizeable gay student population.
My point is that you should be comfortable enough in your own skin to be willing to accept , and or ignore the lifestyles of your peers and not feel threatened by them.
It is a big world filled with all kinds of people.
I find it very unfortunate and even tragic when people feel pressured into fitting into a mold to be accepted by those who are unwilling to be tolerant of people whose lifestyles differ from their own.</p>

<p>homosexuals looks normal to me. some arent quite active and have straight personalities. i probably wouldn’t know unless they told me.</p>

18

<p>Yes, if you feel uncomfortable around gay people then yes you are to some extent a homophobe. </p>

<p>Like other people said, NYU will not be a good place for you, especially, from this post, I take you are a guy. My sister who attends NYU has many gay friends and of course she is quite liberal.</p>
