writestuff,

I am very glad to read that your daughter is loving her education. It really is nice to read, especially with some of the previous threads about how unhappy students are at NYU.

Likewise, my son is loving NYU. Hehe, I think the freedom is a big factor, but he LOVES NYC. He decided to drop one course (4 credits) with our blessing. We want to make sure he adjusts well without being overwhelmed by the workload. I know he is very social and wants to do a lot of stuff outside of classes, including community service, music, and running for some sort of office. And I believe he can learn things outside of formal classes.

I assured him it is OK to take fewer than 18 credits, especially with his 24 AP/ college credits transferred in. Moreover, I don’t think sonny wants to graduate early because he wants the most he can out of the college experience.
