Hi all, I’ve received notice from most of my colleges already, and it’s that time again to choose colleges. I have never been to New York because I don’t have the money to visit unfortunately, so I was hoping some of you can give me some pointers on your own personal experiences. Thank you. :)

1.) If you’re from the Bay Area, how was the transition from SF to NYC? If not, where are you from and how was your transition from there?
2.) How are the people at NYU? Is the community really tight-knit? What about school spirit?
3.) How often do people go off campus to wander about NYC?
4.) How is Greenwich Village? Safe? Clean?
5.) How are the professors there? Can you find them during office hours?
6.) How are the dorms there?
7.) Is there heavy competition between NYU and Columbia? Has there been occurrences when Columbia looked down on NYU?

I know this is a lot, and I sound pretty ignorant about NYC in general. Sorry and thanks.
