Sense of Community?

Washington square is like NYUville. Its the village, and all the bohemians are kind. I have found there to be a sense of community around the square, obviously with students–but its not difficult to create a rapport with someone you have never met before. Its NYC–something like 16 million people live here, in a few hundred(or thousand?) square miles.

in my experiences, the image of the typical NYU student as some trust fund baby, complete with blue-blood holier than thou attitude is completely false. yes these people exist, and im sure they attend NYU; but again, the full spectrum is here, super rich to poor. Arrogance reaches all 4 corners of the globe.

Alot of people who go to NYU are smart middle class kids from around the nation and the world. most cant afford it without SOME kind of aid. The typical NYU student is a driven, highly intelligent young adult, with killer loans to pay off.
