<p>I can’t speak about NYU Tisch first hand, but I have an NYU graduate and one that is currently a sophomore. Oldest D graduated as a vocal performance major (MT) from Steinhardt. My youinger D is a studio art major in Steinhardt. The advantage of both these programs is that they are small programs within NYU, and therefore they have an intimacy that may be lacking with other (larger) majors. Both D’s have close relationships with others in their program and with faculty from the very beginning of Freshman year. Class sizes are small. It is a lot different than being a bio or accounting major with huge lecture hall classes.</p>
<p>Tisch as you know is divided into the different studios, and I believe the studios are divided further into small groups which stay together for the majority of their classes. So even though you are within a large university, you have the close interaction of a small program.</p>
<p>Being in NYC is unique and to both of my daughters is a wonderful place to go to school and to be part of a creative community. Outside of their small classes, both D’s were able to form relationships/ friendships with students in film, music, acting etc… The networking opportunities are amazing.</p>
