<p>I definitely wouldn’t say NYC sucks. I (obviously) go to NYU and wouldn’t have gone anywhere else given the choice. I’ve loved my experience at NYU thus far and much prefer it to what other colleges have to offer. Remember though, NYU isn’t for everyone.</p>
<p>Also, remember that NYU Poly is NOT in Manhattan; it’s in Brooklyn, which is about a 20 minute subway ride from NYU Greenwhich Village. That said, you most likely will not interact with many NYU students. But rather, would spend most of your time at the Poly campus. Personally, I don’t like the area too much (it is in Brooklyn); I spent a lot of time over there since I worked for the District Attorney (his office is on the Poly campus).</p>
