@alex2213‌ @88donothing‌ @iappreciatelife‌ Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences at NYU Shanghai with me. It certainly sounds like a unique place but I agree that it is not for everyone (myself included). NYU was one of the lower tier schools I was considering but the prospect of studying in Shanghai was alluring to me. However, @88donothing‌’s post about NYU Shanghai not being comparable to Peking University really made me think about my college decision. Originally, I had ruled out UPenn Wharton because I simply could not afford to attend (they offered me a negligible amount of financial aid) and I did not want to put myself into an unreasonably large amount of debt. Now, however, I understand that I sincerely do want to go to a school of the highest caliber. I do not want a name on my resume to hold back my career. Thank you so much for helping me figure out what it is I want out of my college experience. My worries about NYU Shanghai really had little to do with the school and more to do with my own idealized college experience.

I deeply appreciate everyone taking the time to reply to my posts and I wish you the best of luck at NYU Shanghai. I don’t know why people in the NY campus look down on your program (there were some comments on the FB page about it) but it seems like the majority of you have thoroughly enjoying your time in China. Ignore them.

I still think that guy was lying about rubbing Lloyd Blankfein’s shoulders though.
