<p>I might transfer to NYU next year and I was wondering if students know of most if not all people in their class. I am transferring from a small school and I really enjoyed the fact that I pretty much knew everyone, such a close knit community.</p>
<p>holy crap, posts like this scare me. what do you know about NYU? that’s not the malicious kind of “what do you know” I’m just curious why you would even begin to want to transfer here if that is the case.</p>
<p>the short answer is hell no.</p>
<p>Maybe you should reconsider your transfer… NYU is not that kind of school at all. I suppose you start to recognize the people in your classes, but people get very attached to their cliques at the beginning of the year and then all the cliques go off and do their own thing for the rest of the year without expanding. NYU is not the type of place where “everyone knows everyone.” By class, do you mean “Class of 2013” or do you mean “Brit Lit class at 11 am.” Because NYU’s 2013 class is composed of several thousand people and let me make it clear that NYU is NOT unified in any way. The class is very splintered in that there are no loyalties to 2013. There are loyalties to your school — CAS or Tisch or Gallatin or Stern or Steinhardt; loyalties to your frat or sorority; there are loyalties to your major; loyalties to your dorm. LASTLY, and barely alive, is the loyalty to your class.</p>
<p>I really think you should reconsider. Especially coming in as a transfer, it’s going to be nearly IMPOSSIBLE to make close friends…</p>

<p>I agree with everything COMPLETELY!!!</p>
