Ivy League HYP: Princeton & Yale vs. NYU Abu Dhabi

[KiwiKid]

<p>I think that is slightly disingenuous… if you look around everywhere, there ARE arguments like the financial aid offered, the faculty:student ratio, the high SAT scores (demonstrating that people there aren’t just rich, dumb snobs), the travelling-abroad opportunities which I hesitate to label as “unique”, but definitely “rare”, and lastly but most importantly the true sense of “global”, or “cosmopolitan” networks. </p>

<p>You know, I must say it’s quite weird - I haven’t even been accepted to NYUAD yet and I’m still here valiantly defending it.</p>

<p>Maybe I am talking to a future classmate then!</p>

<p>static75, I just closed my eyes and relived my Princeton experience</p>

<p>nothing, and I mean nothing, could compare to it</p>

<p>good luck on that NYU-AD stuff though</p>

<p>

I go to NYU-Poly, and I’ve talked to a lot of people who work on the curriculum at Abu Dhabi, and I know what the word on the street is.</p>

<p>The ultimate verdict? Imagine graduating from Abu Dhabi. You’ve only just left. The most exhilerating, eye-opening four years of your young life. Just IMAGINE all the stories you can tell friends, family, potential employers about your experiences at Abu Dhabi.</p>

<p>Now, imagine trying to tell them stories about SUNY. About NYU-Stern. About MIT. About Yale. About Deep Springs College. Absolutely nothing comes close… and it’s no secret. You have traditional, boring, and difficult vs. untraditional, lively, and difficult. Abu Dhabi isn’t for everyone; you need to be pretty hell-bent on living an exciting life - something to tell your grandkids about. And we do all believe this is it. if you can’t tell from my obvious enthusiasm, we at NYU are super-excited about NYU jumpstarting an entirely new type of “league.”
