<p>I know there are drawbacks to every college and NYU certainly has its own set of problems, but are there many other threads discussing those issues. No college can be perfect in every way. I want to know, however, whether you are happy overall with NYU? Do you feel you made the right choice?</p>
<p>I am ecstatic. It is kind of exciting, and frightening, narrowing down your choices and choosing a school. I had a lot of good choices. It was a tough decision and I chose NYU. You show up hoping to get a good roommate, make friends and do well. I have had luck and done well in all three areas. I’m sure there are horror stories at NYU and everywhere else. But there are also success stories everywhere too. They talk about choosing a school that fits you, and you hope you do. But looking at colleges is a whole lot different than living and going to school there every day. I’ve been lucky and couldn’t have made a better choice for me. Good Luck.</p>
<p>What's the campus like? Besides nonexistant like people say. xD Is it easy to get around? Did you ever get lost?</p>
<p>This part of Manhattan is laid out in a grid (mostly) roads run north-south and east-west, except for Broadway. 5th Ave separates east from west. It's real eay to get around, walking, biking or subway. The campus is somewhat spread out with most of the academic buliding clustered in and around Washington Sq. Park.</p>
<p>I can say that NYU was not one of my top choices in my whole college admissions process. I didn't even visit NYU before I came to move in (I'm from the West coast). I can honestly say that, though, that I think this school ended up being the perfect fit for me. I think that NYU has a really good balance--school isn't too hard so you have time to explore the city, which is amazing. And Washington Square Park can feel campus-y during the day when there are a bunch of students walking to class and hanging out. I'd recommend NYU.</p>
<p>I've heard that the teacher:student ratio isn't that great, with some lecture halls containing around 1,000 students. Is this even true? On their website, it says that the ratio is 11:1, which I'm not sure is possible given the number of students attending NYU. </p>
<p>Also, just out of curiosity, how many students are there for undergrad and grad school?</p>
<p>im in the same boat, im seriously considering nyu, but im from the west coast and ive never been there!</p>
<p>Slx-</p>
<p>According to CollegeBoard there are roughly 21,000 undergrads and 17000 grad students.</p>
<p>Enrollment
Total: 50,917
Undergraduate: 19,401
Graduate and Professional: 18,990
Noncredit Programs: 12,526 </p>
<p>That's from the NYU website. Better info than collegeboard - for almost anything NYU.</p>
<p>I don't think there are any lecture halls that can really accommodate 1,000 students...?</p>
<p>Overall, I am happy about the academic aspect of NYU, but not really anything else such as advisement, housing, or social life. This is just me though, not to say that other people haven't had extremely positive experiences.</p>
