NYU Student Body

NYU is one of my dream schools and it has always been a dream of mine to go there. I love the idea of being in the city, having a spread out campus, a diverse population, no greek houses or football team (that stuff just isn’t for me). But I do have one major concern: the students.

I’ve read in a few places that many students tend to be spoiled, arrogant, and snooty. I was born and raised in the Midwest and have grown up far from rich. My family isn’t poor, but I’m not spoiled by money in any way. I am concerned that the student will easily get under my polite, modest, Midwestern skin.

Also, are many students hardcore liberals? I tend to lean more to the left, and have many liberal friends, however, I don’t possess very strong political beliefs. And while I respect all views, I don’t like the loudmouth people who try to tell you that you’re wrong for not agreeing with them.

Is NYU like this as a whole? Or is it all an exaggeration? What is your completely honest view on the students at NYU?
