<p>^^ What she said.</p>
<pre><code>I believe this “gentle” man clearly does not like “my” college (since I go there) for some reason. I understand his bitterness . However, there are so many other objective ways to express your thoughts and make your yourself credible that this is not really what I would say if I were to simply tell someone “DON’T go to NYU-poly.”

<p>to the OP,</p>
<pre><code>Honestly, I will not go ahead and sell you poly. Everything is pretty much clear. As of now, poly is NOT one of the top engineering schools in the country. However, we do have some facts that might interest you if you want to come over, but it really depends on how much you want to live and work in the city. Indeed, poly has a descent reputation from employers around NYC. The average starting salary for our graduates proudly stands next to those of other top engineering schools. Moreover, if you have never been to NYC, I would say that it is quite an experience to study science and technology in here: it is stimulating and exciting. NYU has merged with us. Some like it, some other don’t and claim how bad that is for NYU itself. In any way, I know both schools can only benefit from this despite all the controversy. Poly was in really bad shape when NYU took over. Therefore it is quite normal for poly to use the NYU brand to attract students: it is just business. Now the school is really expensive: 10-11’s tuition is over $50,000 (if you dorm).
In brief, the decision is really up to you. Go for what’s best for you and good luck. Poly is not the best school out there but it is not a crap school either.
