<p>Things I don’t like about NYU…</p>
<p>Well, the dorm thing actually isn’t so bad for me. I live in Uhall, which is supposed to be the most anti-social freshman dorm there is, but the thing about my floor is that we’re actually all really close, and a bunch of us plan to enter the housing lottery for next year together – so it IS possible to find a sense of community in your dorm. At least, freshman year.</p>
<p>Like others have said, you’ll find all sorts of people here. But something I don’t think others have touched upon: clubs (as in the school ones). Most of them seem to be really big, and it’s hard to distinguish yourself in them. If you want to get involved, there’s usually some kind of application/election/other kind of competition you have to go through first. That’s been my experience, anyway.</p>
<p>NYC is crazy expensive, of course. There are those who don’t understand that not everyone is up to their noses in cash, but a lot (if not the majority) of people tend to go for cheap eats anyway. You just have to look for them.</p>
<p>Um… well, I’m pretty satisfied with NYU life so far… I’m not a big fan of the Stern curve, although it’s apparently become less deflating this year. Some of the required classes <em>cough</em>WritingtheEssay<em>cough</em> are annoying, I guess.</p>
