NYU, anybody attending currently (or in the past)

<p>ok,
so i'm only a sophmore in high school and i live in chicago. I have plans of becoming an actress and my college choices are in California and attending the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and in New York, attending NYU however i'm leaning more toward NYU. So i wanted to know if anybody out there has or had attended NYU. if so, what was it like? do u think my plans suit the life of New York?
thanks in advance!</p>
