<p>I want to know if transferring to a top school is worth it? I mean will you have the oppurtunities to network, join clubs, create relationships with professors in 2 years? I’m not sure that it is possible. Can you really have the experience of a first year student or something?</p>
<p>I’ve definitely done those things, and I’ve been here about two years. </p>
<ul>
<li>The NYU name opened doors to internships I wouldn’t have gotten in CUNY. </li>
<li>I joined clubs and signed up to be a Welcome Week Ambassador within my first few months here.</li>
<li>Through my Professors, I landed into a research project at one of the other NYU divisions that I just wouldn’t have known about if I were still at CUNY. </li>
</ul>
<p>So it’s definitely a tight fit, but it is definitely possible. You just have to hustle and know how to work the system, as well as be confident and ready. </p>
<p>As for the first year student thing. . . would I want to go back and have the entire four years at NYU? Of course. I still made friends, made it work, and I’m much, much, much happier here than I was at CUNY. It was definitely worth it.</p>
