How much do you spend per week at NYU?

wow mattistotle makes NYU kids sound so spoiled. I can agree with some of the things he’s saying (like making connections is important) but a lot of it I find to be inaccurate. He’s making it sound like every student goes out and drinks on the weekends and splurge on designer brands. I don’t know if it’s just in the nature of being a business-related major and in stern to make connections via drinking and going to bars, but I hardly went to club/bars my freshman year. Actually, in all honestly, I don’t think I’ve been to clubs freshman year and I’m not embarassed to say it because I don’t like that kind of scene. Yea, my roommate and I go to hookah bars but it’s not like an upscale “CEO of some major company’s gonna be there” type thing. I recently just got hired as an intern for a competitive position/company and it was NOT through drinking and spending money. In fact, it was free. I searched up some NYU internship database, sent in my cover letter and resume via online, and was scheduled for an interview and hired on the spot. Granted, you have to have good social skills for the interview (and its up to you to build up confidence and those social skills wherever it may come from and going to bars/clubs may be one of them) but it was not the case for me.
