<p>Is it expensive to eat around campus?</p>
<p>Can I survive with a 10 tickets/week meal plan?</p>
<p>I imagine this is also not firewalker's cup of tea, but this is the type of thing that made my D want to go to NYU (she's a violin performance major)</p>
<p>I'm not really familiar with NYU meal plans, I don't attend the school. If you stick to your plan you should be set. </p>
<p>But I do hang out in Greenwich Village a lot. And whether you're just window shopping, sitting in a cafe or hanging out, you'd be liable to drop $10-15 on one casual meal at an off-campus joint. There are SO many good places to eat/snack around the area- from sushi to Mexican to halal to Dean and Deluca to Beard Papas to Jamba Juice to crepes to dumplings- and they're not so cheap. That all adds up. So make sure your meal plan suits you well.</p>
<p>you cannot live in 10 meals a week, i mean c'mon, do the math.Maybe its possible if you do 4 clubs thats feed you, but thats only 2 meals a day, which is kinda pushing it.</p>
<p><em>sorry to crash the thread</em></p>
<p>seemstazz, you need to chill out and stop second-guessing yourself based on a few people's opinions of the school. you decided to go to NYU for a reason. hopefully that was an informed decision. if having a campus atmosphere is really important to you, a major factor that will either make or break your college years, you shouldn't have picked NYU.</p>
<p>3 years ago, i was THISCLOSE to going to NYU, even sent in a deposit, and changed my mind at the last minute to go to a school with a traditional campus--that's how important it was for me. i love it there. you have to weigh things.</p>
<p>i think if you want to be a music biz major, you should stay with NYU.</p>
<p>ok eating CAN be cheap if you make it cheap. There are $2 pizzas everywhere, falafels, and a lot of food in the McDougal area. Seriously.</p>
<p>And the meal plans are always more than enough (at least i find it that way). Almost everyone I know have leftover meals or find it accomplishing when they use up all the meals of the week.</p>
<p>firewalker--jeeze someone said you cant wear them so i was asking about that...get off my case "buddy."</p>
<p>matth--thanks, i got a lil worried there.</p>
<p>lindz0722--i know i know but it was hard for me because my parents don't support me in this and told me that if i want to change schools or majors they won't allow it. This is the rest of my life i am talking about, its kind of hard not to get worried in making this big of a decision with so much time and money on the line. a campus atmosphere was very important to me but i think what is best for my major/career comes first so i chose nyu. thanks for your imput tho i appreciate it and i think i made the right decision.</p>
<p>are clubs a big deal at NYU?</p>
<p>To anybody complaining about a "music scene" at NYU, I have this to say:</p>
<p>You are in NEW YORK CITY. Where else is there a better or more diverse music scene? You could go to Iceland, Sweden, Chicago, Boston, Oakland, LA, the North West. Yes, excellent, but you are subjecting yourself to ONE scene. New York City has them all, why? Because they come to us. If you think there is a lack of a music "scene" in New York then you're either far too taken with a subculture genre that lives in one microcosm of another city and refuses to tour, or you've yet to leave campus.</p>
<p>Noone ever said there wasn't a music scene, buddy.</p>
