<p>JennyD123 - totally agree with you 100%, I thought that mattistotle’s post was very valuable and brought up a lot of excellent points. My intention however was to bring to the forefront that it is important to keep things in perspective as not everyone is the same and will experience things differently. </p>
<p>At the same time, I really don’t get the kids, who somehow are expecting a “full on campus experience” with a “tight knit community feel” at NYU. It is what it is. I went to NYU myself, and never expected that at all; I met some great people and had the best time of my life. Believe me, you will find peer pressure, annoying and pretentious people everywhere. That’s just part of life, and you might as well learn how to deal with it early on. </p>
<p>Again, for some NYU is “it”; for others obviously not, but isn’t that the same for all colleges?</p>
