<p>“a place where students live, learn, and play together. Students build close-knit communities in our residence halls, gather several times daily in The Thomas Commons, and enjoy the beautiful, peaceful atmosphere of the Hilltop and Mount Vernon. They also find plenty of ways to explore the diversity of eastern Iowa and beyond during weekends and monthly block breaks.”</p>

<p>“Student living at NYU is a unique experience of its own. Students can live in residential housing near the Washington Square campus—soaking in the vibrant Greenwich Village neighborhood—or they can live off campus in one of the five boroughs and beyond. With either option, students aren’t just residents of a college campus; they are citizens, users and a vital aspect of one of the world’s largest, diverse, most interesting cities.”</p>
<p>So if you need to decide you want a traditional campus experience for the next 4 years or “hit the ground running” like they say about Stern,NYU. It is entirely up to you, your attitude and preference. At NYU you are expected to be an adult and treated like an adult, and there is no hand holding whatsoever.</p>
