Is NYU Overrated?

<p>For CAS. Theres a lotta hype that goes into this school, but is it really that great?</p>

<p>It’s overly popular given the quality of academics.</p>

<p>^wait so are you saying it sucks? wow what a jerk. haha</p>

<p>Hm. So is NYUs quality of education not up to par with its hype?</p>

<p>I really do not know much about New York University but I had the opportunity to speak with a graduate (Undergraduate College of Arts and Sciences) a few weeks ago. He later went to a very good graduate school (University of Chicago)… He was quite an eccentric man, and he told me he loved NYU. He was rejected admission to Duke for undergraduate admissions, and he told me that it was a “great failure”. </p>

<p>I did not really ask him about his college or anything, it was just a “this happened to me thing”. He is quite successful today and happy with his life. That being said, I would love to spend my college years in New York!</p>

<p>NYU President John Sexton says that NYU is in and of the city; you should love being in the city if you attend NYU. With schools of this caliber, it should be more about you than what other people say; the education will be what you make it.</p>
