<p>I know for a lot of my friends, NYU is their dream school because they want to live in the city but don't have the grades to make it to columbia. And also, Tisch and Stern are definitiely among the very best for their respective fields. So yeah :) I'm gonna get off my soapbox now</p>
<p>can someone please explain the appeal of harvard and yale to me? I visited them and I didn't like either! I mean, I know that they are elite and prestigious and such, but I still don't understand all the hype. (or should I say "HYP". haha. Okay, bad joke, sorry!)</p>
