<p>I think what gomestar is trying to say is that the "traditional" college experience most kids have is to have a nice college campus like those shown in brochures. The ones with nice green lawns and bulidings and peole walking on built roads cut into those nice lawns.</p>
<p>However, NYU and NYC is busy streets with busy adults and lots of traffic/people. </p>
<p>It's different strokes for different folks.</p>
