Wearing different college sweaters...

I love when people not from NYU say that NYU doesn’t have a “real campus.” From 10-2 every weekday at Washington Square, 90% of the people walking on the sidewalk are obviously NYU students, which gives the whole area a very normal college feel. I have my own problems with the school, which is why I’m applying to transfer, but I assure you that the location is not one of them. We may not have a traditional campus but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Also, since when does having a defined campus = having a ton of school spirit, anyway?

I understand that there are a lot of graduate students here, but I frequently see people (in the dining halls, for instance, or in my classes) that I know are undergrads wearing sweatshirts/shirts from other schools, and they’re usually ranked higher than NYU according to USNWR. So that’s what I was referencing with the insecurity comment.
