What are students at NYU like?

I know that sounds like a ridiculous question to ask about a school with such a huge student body, but the rumors are that everyone is really artsy/hipster. I realize there is a huge gay population, and that is something I don’t mind at all, I am a straight guy but gay people are cool with me. But are there kids who like comedy movies over art shows and burger joints over coffee shops? I have an open mind and would do those things, but from what I hear about kids at NYU I don’t know if I will fit in, but I really don’t want to pass up being in NYC or studying at NYU for a superficial reason like this, but I could really use some reassurance, preferably from students at NYU already. Thanks for the help.
