I was barely 17 when I came to school. It depends on who you are as a person. There is no magic age that determines when a person will be ready.

Safety will not be an issue. Manhattan is probably the safest borough and all areas around NYU are well-kept. You will look no different than the smaller or young-looking 17, 18, and 19 year old kids coming here too. No one will know your age unless you tell them.
