Best/Worst Thing...?!

<p>what is your favorite & least favorite thing about new york university?! :]</p>

<p>as a lifetime New Yorker, i’m pretty biased, so: </p>

<p>favorite: i’ll probably never take such unique classes ever again. i also like that there are many opportunities to pursue my passions. </p>

<p>least favorite: red tape and how frustrating it can be to get a straight answer from administrators. but that’s the same with any sort of bureaucracy.</p>

<p>favorites: my majors, my professors, the people i’ve met here, the food, living in manhattan, all the cool stuff to do off-campus, the fact that I don’t have to pretend to care about sports…:)</p>

<p>least favorite - my (upperclassmen) dorm is so tiny (way smaller than weinstein), the classes are huge, too much bureaucracy, the administration’s obnoxious attempts to take over lower manhattan and uglify it, it’s ridiculously overpriced.</p>

<p>what are you guys majoring in/what school?
truth: is it possible to double major in two schools if accepted to CAS? (i know they say no, but do they bend it?!:))</p>

<p>I’m in CAS double majoring in chemistry and neural science. pretty sure missamericanpie is in Steinhardt studying Media and Communications (not sure if that is 1 or 2 majors sorry). </p>

<p>If you want to double major in CAS + non-CAS school, I’m pretty sure you have to be in the non-CAS school is. No, the administration won’t bend the rules for you or anyone and don’t expect them to do you any favors, ever, or be helpful, ever. :slight_smile: lol sorry if this sounds cynical, it’s something I learned very quickly!</p>

<p>thanks alix2012, yeah, that’s what i figured, just hoping otherwise ha
was nyu your number one?</p>

<p>yeah, alix is right. you have to be in the NON CAS school and -then- declare the CAS double major. but certain majors aren’t allowed to double major. </p>

<p>media, culture and communications is one major, i know it doesn’t sound like it is. lol. and i’m in Steinhardt.</p>

<p>@missamericanpie, yeah, it is, it’s actually a major i was considering, but wanted something else in CAS and… long story ha</p>
