<p>Someone wrote this quote about the experience at NYU:</p>
<p>"It'd feel like 80% of an ideal college experience would be compromised if I had gone [to NYU]. Just my honest opinion."</p>
<p>Am I crazy or can someone please explain to me what the hell this means? I'm trying to decide on my #1 choice and I think it might be NYU. But I just don't understand what people think theyre missing by not going to a campus surrounded by trees and flowers? What could NYU possibly be missing besides flowers and a football team?</p>
<p>Youre overanalyzing this...if you love NYC, you'll love NYU.</p>
<p>I am still only a highschool senior, but all of my friends in college tell me "college is what you make of it." Who's to tell you what your individual idea of an "ideal college experience" is?</p>
<p>In my honest opinion, whoever wrote that would eat their own words if they actually had come to NYU. I was a little skeptical about NYU too because there is no campus, and I didn't know if I would have the feeling as if I were actually in college. Now that I'm here, I can't see it any other way. Honestly, I kinda feel like all college's who boast core campuses complete with grassy quads and the like are subordinate to NYU...after being in the city, that sounds like a recreational prison to me (not to be offensive, haha).</p>
<p>At NYU, your campus is the city. Greenwhich Village is gorgeous, and not only do I feel like part of the NYU community, I feel like I'm also part of the NYC community. The other day a tourist asked me for directions, and I really felt like this city was my new found home. So, in my opinion, living in the Village w/ more than just dorms and lecture halls and quads and bookstores and libraries, NYU has the best campus in the world.</p>

<p>My only problem with the "campus" is the D3 sports.</p>
