<p>Hi, I am trying to transfer to NYU for Fall 2007 from a state university. According to the USnews, NYU has more than 20,000 students studying at the undergraduate level. So does anyone know how many students are normally in a upper level class? I am planning to do double majors in Economics and Mathematics at NYU, and I really want to get a lot of individual attention in class without feeling just a number. Any comments will be much appreciated!</p>
<p>its more like... 17,000</p>
<p>I have been told that NYU has the largest undergraduate student body among the U.S PRIVATE universities...the number was 20,566 last year according to the USnews...Any current NYU student has any thoughts on this topic?</p>
<p>Undergraduate body has nothing to do with the attention you will receive in the classroom. CAS has an average class size of 13:1 and I know some students at NYU who all say they have one lecture and the rest are small, workshop style classes. They are also freshmen and the further you go up the class year, the more attentive the professors become. Since NYU is divided into colleges, that is what makes this liberal arts style possible.</p>
<p>yes there are a lot of undergraduates. It comes with the territory i guess.</p>

<p>Um... yes, we're a big school. Yes, it affects the size of classes that lots of people take, whether it's MAP or pre-med stuff.</p>
<p>Regardless, even in upper-level courses, it varies. When I took Physical Chemistry III, we had four people in our class. I'm taking Biophysical Chemistry now, which is technically a graduate level course, and we have something like 20+ undergrades and 2 graduate students. I've heard Biochemistry has around 100 students. So there's really no hard-fast rule about class size.</p>
