<p>sorry, I forgot I wasn’t on the Tisch site
We got our packets already, you should call. We’re a long way from NY!</p>

<p>lots of gay dudes. Health office reports ~30% of guys are gay.</p>
<p>@Samonuh</p>
<p>Well a lot of classes beyond freshman year get smaller and smaller since you get to the more advanced levels. But it seems that you’re implying socially you won’t make many cool friends who are guys. Sort of accurate, but not entirely. NYU is supposedly the largest private research university, but I don’t know enough about your preferences to make a judgement for you.</p>
<p>@ProcrastinArtist</p>
<p>As I’ve reiterated numerous times, there are a number of groups of people at NYU. It’s just as easy to stay with the hipsters, gays as it is to hang with them. There are some, albeit hard to find, cool guys who you can consider “dudes” to talk smack with, go to the gym with, play video games, you get the gist.</p>

<p>Internal transfers to Stern are incredibly difficult. Only around 10-15 kids accepted including transfers each year. </p>
<p>@Samonah/Fourkidsmom</p>
<p>Fourkidsmom’s point is kinda true that girls go get a little antsy with the lack of straight guys here, but it’s not that hard for them since they can go around the city and other colleges in the city to find who they want. A lot of people are looking for casual hookups. That’s probably what most guys are looking for anyway lol.</p>

<p>You only apply to one school. In this case, either Stern or CAS. No second choices. Few people in Stern solely intend on majoring in only Economics. A lot of people double major with Econ and Finance, but the Econ program is not something Stern is renowned for. If you really want Econ then go to CAS Econ. Stern is more geared for practical situations that are experience in the finance industry/Wall Street. </p>

<p>I’ve answered this question multiple times in the thread. Just go a couple pages back and you’ll find a comprehensive detailed answer. </p>

<p>Whoever told you that minoring is not worth it, that’s just their personal opinion. They may just be lazy or have no other interests. Minoring is worth it if you have something else you are interested in. It’s supposed to be what you like. </p>
<p>I think a double major in math and physics is double the workload because it would mean you need more courses to fulfill the requirements. </p>

<p>NYU is a really great place. It’s cool to know that you go to college in the city. The people here are nice and friendly, but many people forget each other after one encounter or after having a class for one semester. You have to work to keep up relationships with people. I didn’t have to go through the financial aid process as my family is paying for my college. I commend those who are paying their way through college though. Talking to many people who take loans and go through the FA process, I understand it’s stressful and can be a deal breaker on whether you attend NYU or not. If you come here and are paying your way through college, I say come here for the right reasons. Realize that in the end it is academics you’re here for and not the partying and the city. </p>
<p>@fourkidsmom</p>
<p>I honestly don’t know anything about this. I have no knowledge of the Tisch program and how it works. I’m in CAS so I don’t know much about that. I do know some friends who do stand-up and dance in the city on their free time, so the opportunities are out there.</p>
<p>@jackhammer25</p>
<p>Thank you for your response! </p>
<p>I have another question: What is the difference between a ‘Shared Studio; 2 Students’ and a ‘Low Cost Shared Studio; 2 Students’? They seem the same to me but the housing rates are quite different. </p>
<p>Since I am going as a CAS student, which residential hall would you recommend? I don’t want to spend all the money on housing and I prefer living close to the the college building.</p>
<p>I would be really grateful if you could give any insights.</p>
<p>And could you please tell me whether there are compulsory courses to take for the freshmen year as a maths major?? </p>
<p>I know Penn requires its students to choose courses in 8 or 10 different categories such as foreign languages and social sciences respectively. Are there any similar requirements for course selection at NYU?</p>
<p>Daughter got LSP acceptance e-mail on 3/29. No packet in the mail as of yesterday. We live in Brooklyn, NY (in case you couldn’t have guessed that). While the packet will be nice, it seems like everything we will need is in the links in the acceptance e-mail.</p>
<p>@susannesj</p>
<p>For freshmen, a shared studio just means a two-person room. So basically you and a roommate. The only low cost options I’ve heard of are for three people to one room. The best guess I can give you is maybe the low cost 2 person studio is a less roomy version of a dorm room. </p>
<p>For you, I’d recommend Hayden since it’s close and has a low cost option. Rubin also has the low cost option and isn’t that far away. </p>
<p>@BrooklynGuy</p>
<p>I got the packet 4 or 5 days after. People get them at different times though, so nothing to worry about. You’re right, everything in the packet you can get through e-mail. The packet’s just includes a lot of cool visuals of NYU.</p>
<p>Do you know if NYU sends financial aid summaries in the mail or is it only online?</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>Is it really that impossible to get housed in Goddard? I really really like it and am huge into the community service that they seem to promote a lot and have wanted it since i looked at NYU housing sophomore year :P</p>
<p>Could you talk a little bit about your academic experience in Econ CAS, and if you have heard of any, the experience in Stern?
Do students there really like to learn and have a passion of knowledge, or they care about their future career more? Are there a lot of class discussions going on? How’s the workload? And how’re the professors? (Actually I’ve read a lot of articles written by Roubini, and I think he’s amazing)</p>
<p>@dreamer2012</p>
<p>I not sure about this. If they don’t you could ask them to send you the financial aid summary in the mail. </p>
<p>It’s not impossible to get housed in Goddard. All you have to do is write an application essay. There’s not a tremendous demand for it, so your chances of getting into Goddard are favorable as long as your application is ok.</p>
<p>@huigraceli</p>
<p>I’ve only done a couple Econ courses since most of my freshman year has been spent fulfilling MAP requirements. So far, I like the way Econ is taught in CAS. It’s taught much more theoretically than it is in Stern, which is what I expected. CAS Econ is taught more as an academic subject with emphasis on understanding the material, whereas Stern Econ is more towards applying Econ to real financial situations. Personally, I think if you like Econ as a subject matter and want to study the discipline, then CAS Econ is the way to go. It’s a top-10 program and supposedly does well in terms of job placement. Still doesn’t compete with the heavy-hitters in Stern on Wall Street, but opens up your chamber of different industry possibilities. </p>
<p>All my friends in Stern have said the courses are extremely competitive since it’s graded on the Stern curve. The curve gives people A’s, B’s, or C’s. But then again, the Stern curve could screw you over, as some of my friends have experienced. </p>
<p>From what I’ve seen, a lot of kids in Stern don’t come in immediately with a lot of knowledge about Wall Street or how finance works in general. They were mainly these math and science geniuses who read stories about finance in their free time. I do really believe though that a lot of what they do is geared towards future career. Some are cool, but some have really arrogant attitudes and act like d-bags to try and show they’re better than the rest of NYU. Maybe it’s a result of the competitive environment, who knows. I don’t know much about professors. They all say the workload can be absolutely crazy at times.</p>
<p>Thanks so much. :)</p>

<li>How is the psych department at NYU? </li>
<li>Is psychology a good major at NYU?</li>
<li>Are there many internships for psych majors at NYU?</li>
<li>If you do a double major, can you still take other elective classes and have a minor?</li>
<li>Is it true that NYU graduates start out with more/less $50k salary (undergrad)?</li>
<li> What percent of NYU graduates have jobs after graduation (undergrad)?</li>
</ol>
<p>hi againn, once again thanks for doing this. hahaha i bet this is so annoying for youuu but
-do you ever wish you went to a college with an actual campus?
- on average, how much is your work load?
- how was your transition from high school work to college work? i feel like my first assignment i get from a professor is going to be scary haha despite having taked a lot of APs.
-do i have to go to the washington square thingy?</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I’ve recently been admitted to the CAS Economics department. My ultimate goal is to go to Law school and I was wondering if undergrads have the opportunity to work at the NYU Law Review? I’m also very interested in math intensive economics, I heard that Stern’s Economics is very vocational and application oriented. I think while this is important, it’s also something you can learn on the job if you have an extremely solid understanding of the subject. Is it possible for highly motivated CAS students to get finance internships with the big banks? Also, does the NYU London program give its students the opportunities to intern with the big English banks and possible take classes/work with professors at LSE?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>@ShineeTiara</p>
<p>I not familiar with the Psych department so I can’t help you with you first two questions. </p>
<ol>
<li><p>Since we’re in New York, there’s bound to be opportunities for internships. Just scouring around the right places can land any major an internship. </p></li>
<li><p>Usually most majors are 8-12 courses, so if you double major you’d still be able to take electives and possibly minor. But there are some double majors where all your electives are eaten up. </p></li>
<li><p>I think the average is like ~$53,000. It really depends on your major though. Finance degrees can net you more like 60k-80k coming out of college, while some random liberal arts major would only be like 40k. </p></li>
<li><p>The career center reports that 90% of graduates, excluding Tisch, either get jobs or move on to graduate school. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>@collegeparanoia</p>
<p>It gets kind of annoying if I get the same questions over and over again, but we all know it’s gonna happen. </p>
<ol>
<li><p>I wonder about it sometimes. About the “real” college experience. But you’ll soon understand when you come here that your friends at traditional colleges will be more envious of you being in the city when all they have is the same continual process of tailgating at football games, going to frat parties, and then getting wasted out of your mind. </p></li>
<li><p>Workload really varies based on when exams are (midterms, finals). When I don’t have exams, I typically don’t have a lot of work, but during exam time the workload increases. Most classes I’ve taken so far don’t have a lot of actual homework, most are just lectures in preparation for midterms and finals. </p></li>
<li><p>High school to college is definitely a transition. High school you have tests and quizzes like every couple weeks or so and you have to go to class every day. In college you have a lot more free time, and therefore a lot more decisions to make. Teachers in high school emphasize going to class everyday because it’ll help you, but in college you’ll find it’s better if you study for another exam you have than to go to some random lecture. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>Unless you’re a genius at the material or have already taken the class in high school, you’ll find that the more you prepare for an exam the better you’ll do. Now, that’s a lot easier said than done. There’s so many more distractions, especially being in the city at NYU. Friends will constantly be chasing you down to go do something fun, so you have to learn to prioritize your time and learn how to get things done. Freshman year the work isn’t too much different from an AP level in high school, but the grading style may be different. </p>
<ol>
<li>The “Washington Square thingy” haha. You don’t HAVE to go to anything. It’s the event I’d recommend the most though because you can see the dorms and more importantly if you haven’t decided to come here you can check it out for yourself to see if you want to spend the next four years here.</li>
</ol>
<p>Hi! I’ve been accepted into CAS with Politics. Over the past few months, my interest has inclined towards economics. Is it possible to change my major to Econ?</p>
<p>hahhah yeah i know you like my intellectual description. hence the thingy.</p>
<p>Slashftw, you don’t have to declare a major til end of soph year. In the meantime, when you go for your mandatory summer orientation and sign up for classes, let your advisor know. Most of your fresh classes will be geared to your core requirements.</p>
<p>Is steinhardt considered a joke? Whenever anyone mentions NYU of course you’ll hear Stern and Tisch but CAS and Gallatin are usually also always mentioned as well… Is Steinhardt as well regarded as those other schools? I was a little alarmed when I got an honors program e-mail when I really didn’t think I qualified for that at all.</p>
<p>@slashftw</p>
<p>MilkandSugar is right. Basically, all that matters right now is that you’re in CAS. Even though you may have signed up for Politics, you have to declare the major yourself while at NYU and the latest that can be is sophomore year. You can change your major however much you want until sophomore year. </p>
<p>@dreamer2012</p>
<p>Well, the joke around NYU has always been that Tisch and Gallatin are the biggest no-work schools, although Steinhardt isn’t too far behind. The most academically well regarded school is Stern, but Tisch and Stern are the hardest to get into. I can’t say I disagree with why Steinhardt doesn’t get too much respect. After all, the whole curriculum is pretty much writing random essays on subjects that have little to no value. </p>
<p>To answer your question directly, I’d say Steinhardt isn’t a complete joke. But it’s more in the realm of Gallatin and Tisch of being a cakewalk academically. CAS and Stern are definitely more academically rigorous.</p>
<p>So, a double major in Steinhardt and CAS wouldn’t be too hard to swing, would it? Honestly I don’t expect MCC to be the most rigorous and challenging major ever so I want to supplement it with another major (journalism, econ, or political science, etc) and even a minor. But I also want to have a job too! Do you know of anyone with a double major and a minor? Ugh, I just want to do EVERYTHING because there’s just so much opportunity! </p>
<p>How are you finding yourself time management wise? This isn’t an Ivy so I don’t suppose it’s ridiculously hard. I want to be able to juggle a lot and am worried I won’t be able to handle it, especially with the distractions of the city.</p>
