I know NYU is expensive but my parents are allowing me to apply, I don’t even know if I will get accepted but it is worth a shot. Also, suggestions are appreciated. I would prefer to a attend a school in the northeast. Although this wouldn’t prevent me from attending, I would prefer a beautiful campus.
