<p>Hi!
Could you provide me any information to help me choose between Grinnell college and NYU? I am primarily concerned with the academics. Does any one know how their liberal arts departments and student bodies compare? </p>
<p>I like Grinnell's location and it's liberal arts feel, but NYU might be able to offer a greater diversity of courses and stronger academics.</p>
<p>Any help?</p>
<p>NYU will definitely offer more choices, but it does not have greater academic strength than Grinnell. Grinnell is extremely strong academically. NYU's strength varies a little from department to department. It is strong, but not stronger than Grinnell. The two environments are so opposite. If you like Grinnell, I doubt that you will like NYU at all. It is known for being impersonal. You should go with Grinnell.</p>
