<p>Thanks, as always, soozievt. I am guessing that you hypothesis – that NYU gets SO many visitors that accomodating them would be a nightmare – is the reason for the prohibition on visitors to studio classes. I think the overall point here is that students thinking about college need to fit together a lot of pieces of info in order to make a judgment: they should talk to current students (more than one or two); visit campus; talk to teachers (if they can); watch productions, etc. etc.</p>
