NYU Gallatin?

NYU Gallatin was one of the places I applied. I personally love the idea of individualized study. It gives you independence, freedom, and flexibility in choosing classes only you want to concentrate in, rather than wasting time with other classes you have no need for. If you’re the English type, you don’t have to take math classes - and vice versa.

I’ve heard that there isn’t really much trouble at all when it comes to grad schools and employers. All you have to do is explain; but, if your school is well-known - such as NYU - then it’s pretty reliable, I think.

If you’re interested in open curriculums like that, though, I don’t think NYU would be the BEST option. There are plenty others I suggest you and your friend look into:


The New School (Eugene Lang)
Sarah Lawrence College
Hampshire College
Brown University
New College of Florida
Wesleyan
Bard


I’m sure there are many more, but this list is the one I’m most familiar with. Good luck!
