sdesai,

Haha, you will be surrounded by the East Village (Asian) Indian restaurants, some very good, though maybe not as good as what you are used to (if you enjoy home-cooked Indian meals). Of NYC’s Asian population, the largest group is Chinese, then Korean, followed by Indian.

I noticed quite a few mentioned Indian in Accepted Students this year and last (when I first started reading the threads).

You will find many types of people (besides by ethnic background) at NYU (as well as in NYC). That is the beauty of attending NYU in NYC.

Haha, my son looks like a hipster from the 70s (bell bottoms, dress, hair), but he does not drink coffee; he is into music but loves comedy movies. He has a very good Indian friend who will be a suite-mate with him next year. The group is a mix of backgrounds, Asian, European, Mexican, Jewish, etc.

Don’t just stay with your group. College is a time to meet people from faraway places or cultures too. It will enhance your college experience and you as a person.
