DRUGS, drinking and BOYS at NYU

<p>I don't drink and I have never done any drug before. I read on princeton review that nyu is 15 on the reefer madness list. do you think nyu is a good fit for me? i dont mind people drinking but i really dont want to be around stoned people all the time. do people go to bars all the time and stuff? is there a good portion of the population that would want to hang out with me? also... is it true that 40% of the guys are gay? i mean im accepting and all, but i would like to have a hot boyfriend in college!
Thanks for your help everyone!</p>

<p>You don't sound ready for college to me. You will make your own world at whatever school you end up attending. There will always be people who drink more than you, do more drugs than you, are more gay than you......these people really don't affect you do they? Why are you so worried?</p>

<p>"do people go to bars all the time and stuff?"</p>

<p>-Its college, people drink..but you certainly don't have to if you don't want to. You can always make friends through class, dorms, clubs, etc. </p>

<p>"is it true that 40% of the guys are gay?"</p>

<p>-Nowhere even close to that. The vast majority of guys are straight, Tisch is the only NYU school with a preponderence of homosexuals.</p>

<p>Gosh, I hope 40% of the guys ARE gay, then my straight son who will be attending the Tisch school will have a better chance with girls! Not to mention the fact that he really enjoys having gay guy friends who don't spend all their time talking about hot girls. He doesn't drink or do drugs either (at least not now). I don't know that you'd call my son "hot" (for one things, he hates guys referring to girls as "hot" -- demeaning, etc.), but he's cute, kinda handsome, smart, funny, warm, and kind. Do girls like you only want "hot" guys (whatever that is)? If so, he probably wouldn't be interested.</p>

<p>At any top university or any large urban school there is a disproportionately high number of gay men (and probably gay women). There are many reasons why but yes many men at NYU are gay and out.</p>

<p>brwneyes, being around a group of drunk people is alot worse than being around a bunch of stoners... weed was outlawed for merely economic reasons during the 1930's because of the wood lobbyists being scared that hemp would overrun he logging industries in some sectors. But anyways my point is alcohol messes with a person alot more than being stoned, when people are stoned the basically just relax,laugh alot, and eat... whereas when there drunk they are liable to run around naked throwing kegs/</p>

<p>and trust me, if you dont want to participat in the drunken festivities, its almost (almost) as much fun to watch. You will def loosen up in college, even after stayed away from it all in highschool, but you'll find your balance.</p>

<p>"i dont mind people drinking but i really dont want to be around stoned people all the time. " - five will get you ten that you're around stoned people all the time and don't even realize it. people who are high are also much more pleasant to be around than people who are drunk. alcohol makes people agressive, loud, obnoxious, likely to vomit, sluttish, etc..</p>

<p>"do people go to bars all the time and stuff?" - yea. they also do that at every other freaking college in the country except BYU.</p>

<p>"is there a good portion of the population that would want to hang out with me? " - if you have a good personality then people will want to hang out with you.</p>

<p>"also... is it true that 40% of the guys are gay? i mean im accepting and all, but i would like to have a hot boyfriend in college!" - NYU guys have the reputation of being really bad looking.</p>

<p>" do you think nyu is a good fit for me?" - i don't know if you're cut out for any big city.</p>

<p>"NYU guys have the reputation of being really bad looking." - **************.com gave nyu guys a B- (which isnt THAT bad, btw girls got an A-) and that just means us good looking guys will have an easier time. hehe.</p>

<p>which university got A+ girls ?</p>

<p>woops, the website got blocked out in my previous post so ill retype it. college prow ler . com (remove the spaces) ASU, UT-Austin, Vandy, UAriz, UCSD, Pepperdine, UCF, UGA and Loyola Marymount got A+'s for girls.</p>

<p>go to college p row le r . com, they have bunches of rankings, and i think that was what bigred was talking about.</p>

<p>haha okay, big red got to it before i did!</p>

<p>You can do CHOICES housing which is for people who do not do drugs/alcohol. Also I think NYU recently started up a club along the lines, "Fun Without Substances" - something of that nature. If you seek out drugs/alcohol at NYU, you will definitely find it, but it will never be shoved in your face.</p>

<p>:eek: NYU HAS CLUBS?!</p>

<p>just kidding..</p>

<p>Vandy is #1 for girls. UT-Austin, UGA and Pepperdine are also quality.</p>
