<p>There are plenty of threads on this topic. Academically speaking, NYU is, across the board, among the best in the country and is in no way overrated. If its FA were even halfway decent, it’d be on par with schools like Cornell, JHU, etc.</p>
<p>For those who can afford it, it is a great place to be as an undergrad. But if you need to take out $100,000+ worth of loans, however, it is definitely not worth it. No one should ever take out that much money for undergraduate, whether at NYU or HYPSM.</p>
