<p>Hey!</p>
<p>I've lived in the subhurbs my whole life and I like NYU except I'm kinda dreading goign somewhere without grass and trees and stuff. I mean, I like the internships and life and all of that of the city, but I'm worried I'll miss nature. Thoughts?</p>
<p>The trouble is, the places I got accepted to in a less urban environment are double the price of NYU.</p>
<p>I like that NYU has central park because if you really need nature it’s there. There is also a zoo if you’re into all that. Save your money and go to NYU the degree will get you further.</p>
<p>yep. four words. </p>
<p>central park. prospect park. take your pick! both full of trees and grass and all that green “nature” stuff. :-P</p>
<p>yep, central, prospect, and then theres washington square that has some trees, and although its not much theres small VIOLET flowers (genious, whoever thought of it) all around the nyu buildings.</p>
<p>and when u walk around, theres streets with entire rows of those cherry blossom and white flowered trees, although thats seasonal. i thought it was really absolutely gorgeous when i was walking there yesterday.</p>
<p>why not visit the bronx, it’s a very green place</p>
<p>D t r a i n Uptown</p>
<p>Honestly, grass is overrated.</p>

<p>3 pages worth of Central Park… There’s also the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, New York Botanical Garden, Bronx Zoo etc etc</p>
<p>I understand your concerns. When my son was considering NYU my first thought was that it was a terrific choice but my second was that it never felt very “campusy” in my mind. I like a separate campus with grass and trees and a quad and places to play frisbee kind of university and NYU has a very urban, tall building kind of feel.</p>
<p>But NYC does have lovely grassy, treed parks to visit. It ISN’T the same as having that campus kind of feel probably (that’s why fordham–while not as prestigious, is quite lovely), but there are benefits to going to school in NYC that would be hard to pass up.</p>
<p>well fordham lincoln center gives the same feel as NYU (no real campus)</p>
<p>it’s only fordham rose hill that has the traditional campus.</p>
<p>I beg to differ, Stephennn, LC has a campus, albeit a very tiny one. RH has the more traditional campus, but at 30-40 mins from the (real) city, it’s not a real option if being in the City is what is sought. LC does have a mini-campus, has a quad, and a definite feel of a (tiny) campus, unlike NYU which has no campus. But the schools are quite different, so it’s really what the OP is looking for. LC is closer to Central Park than NYU is, but there is some greenish space in Washington Square Park. Some feel the Village is way more fun to live in than Lincoln Center, but, again, it depends what you’re into. My suggestion is to look at what the schools have to offer, then consider the campus. If NYU is for you, you might find the lack of greenery is not that important. Or not. Only you will know.</p>
<p>true, i just think that if money is no problem - you shouldn’t choose fordham LC over nyu because you want to have a campus. but to each their own.</p>
<p>grass doesn’t help you in the world unless you are planter/farmer</p>
<p>haha lol at ^</p>
