<p>People say that the reason they don’t like NYU (one of them) is that it doesn’t have a campus. I am just trying to find out if this is hard for people to handle, or if its ok. What do you do with your friends on weekends? You can’t really throw a frisbee outside or do any of those typical “campus” things. So, what do people do, and is it hard to live in or concentrate (it can get loud I know)?</p>
<p>good question, im not as worried tho, there’s awesome night life out in nyc, and im sure there’s a lot more we could do, just not the same “throw frisbee” kind of college life. maybe some current nyu students can help us out?</p>
<p>Yeah good point at the other opportunities with NY Winston, like the night life. If some NYU student could answer the question, that would be great. Also, can you talk about the cost a bit of those night life activities?</p>
<p>I was perfectly made for Manhattan, through and through.</p>
<p>Why would you want to throw around frisbees for four years of your life?</p>
<p>NYC’s where it’s at man! There’s so much more things to do here. Plus it’s not just Manhattan, there’s also other boroughs that you can easily get to through public transportation. They’re all a lot different from each other.</p>
<p>Living in NYC is the best experience ever. I have lived here my entire life, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Transportation is incredibly easy, a fare on a subway or bus is $2.00 one way, but there are many options such as transfers, weekly passes, monthly passes. Cabs start at $2.50 and then they are metered (They can get expensive though). Some of the nightclubs and bars’ alcohol prices will startle you at first (they are a little bit more than what you may be used to), but the quality is there. A lot of bodegas (corner stores) will have beer license(s) and will sell you pretty much any beer at a cut-rate price. I don’t know what else you want to know about Manhattan, but if you have any questions you can PM me. That goes for anyone interested in Manhattan living.</p>

<p>Hahahaha. So true.</p>
<p>haha…by “throwing frisbee”, i think he meant the image of being in a college, walking under trees, being part of the nature. man…throwing frisbee for 4 straight years cant imagine that.</p>
<p>Lmao I know, I was trying to be funny. I mean, that stuff in general gets old really fast. And there’s only so much alcohol-filled dorm parties you can take before that gets boring too.</p>
<p>most definitely ur right chris…lol.just thinking abt the parties gets me excited(tho i dont think i’d make it there).i think ive seen u in other forums, which other schools did u apply for? any decisions yet?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Lol, yes - I got that.</p>
<p>but its also a know fact that not EVERYONE will find themselves comfortable living in nyu, something worth thinking abt.</p>
<p>Living in the city is most certainly not for everyone. If you are willing to put up with tight housing, being broke all of the time and rude people, it is totally worth it! I might just be bias, because I was born in Manhattan… but it is the most awesome place ever and I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. A key to cope with the difficulties of living in New York is to remember, “The city will beat you up, so beat back on it… and everything will be ok.”</p>
<p>Also, i think you need to be very independent and such to survive in the city,</p>
<p>You need to be independent to survive anywhere.</p>
<p>I actually see people throwing frisbees around all the time, in Washington Square park. They’re in the process of renovating the park, I see construction everyday. They’ve added a lot of nice new green-lawn spaces in half the park, it’s beautiful.</p>
<p>I love NYC. The energy and there is always something interesting going on at anytime of day. When I last visited I woke up around 3am because I was starving and went to go get food. THE STREET WAS ****ING PACKED! They night life is insane. You have to be independent and full of energy in order to survive. I don’t know how I’ll squeeze in studying and going out into the concrete jungle.</p>
