<p>Would choosing to study at the NYC location be more economical and cheaper compared to the international sites?</p>
<p>Hi guys, i just got into LSP today… still pretty confused but the more i read the more i think i like it better. </p>
<p>i have two questions. im from california and am considering doing my first year abroad and then coming to new york, does anyone think this is a bad idea?</p>
<p>and also im pre law english major, is LSP going to impede me in anyway with the classes i need to take?</p>
<p>i havent accepted online yet because i still havent decided on the campus.</p>
<p>@sinceredesi - haha didn’t you PM me some of these questions a while back? or maybe i’m thinking of someone else, i’ve been getting a ton of pm’s for the past month or so…
you can find a longer, detailed answer earlier in this thread, but yes you can still take science courses/be pre-med and a psych major and in lsp. </p>
<p>@estefania - no, LSP isn’t going to impede you at all - English is an easy major to do with LSP (most liberal arts majors are) because LSP is very reading and writing intense. Plus English doesn’t have too many requirements and you could even squeeze a double major in if you really wanted to. Pre-law doesn’t have any requirements at all, it basically just means you’re planning to apply to law school, so don’t worry about that</p>
<p>I know someone who went to Florence freshmen year and then came back to NY…she seemed to like the experience. Personally, I would rather be in NYC freshmen year, but that’s just me</p>
<p>well i just love the idea of getting an entire year instead of just a semester, and being that nyu isnt really the normal college experience anyway i think it would be okay to go away . im thinking either london or paris, but id really like to talk to someone that did it. THANK YOU SO MUCH! it does seem that English would be a simple major to go into after LSP. at first i was really upset, but what other freshman get the opportunity of an entire year abroad?</p>
<p>@Alix …nahh i dont think it was me i usually don’t pm people that often 
but if you have any personal experiences or anything you could help me out with (i know you answered some of my financial aid questions in another thread) i’m happy to listen :D</p>
<p>I received a big envelope from NYU on Saturday and I was so excited. But when I opened it and saw that it was only for the LSP, I was so disappointed because my friend gave me the impression that those who were LSP’d were almost rejected from NYU. Is that true? Does anyone know how people are chosen for LSP? Is it very different from regular CAS (which is where I applied)? </p>
<p>And I got the feeling that the courses for people who get LSP’d are very…limited. I read the brochure and saw the courses that we’re required to take. If I end up going to NYU, would I have enough room to take other courses? I was hoping to take a few foreign language and Latin courses.</p>
<p>^^^From what I know, those are some horrendous misconceptions. LSPed applicants are still accepted into NYU and will complete their major in four years.</p>
<p>I think for LSP the people are picked out of the pool of applicants who they think are good for LSPand recommended to the LSP admissions committee who then pick people. I thought I saw it was 10% recommended get accepted.</p>
<p>another question for anyone who could answer…Is it true that when you get your degree, grad schools (for med, law, etc) wouldn’t see that you were in LSP for the first two years then transfered, and just see the fact that you went to NYU CAS in so-and-so major and received a degree?</p>
<p>@Cloudy: Yes, of course you can CAS classes…basically, it means you’ll have to take a bunch of LSP classes first year if you accept. There is a lot of info about the program earlier in the thread so i would check that out.</p>
<p>@sinceredesichick - No, it doesn’t show up on your transcript/degree…well I haven’t graduated yet but my transcript says: New York University, College of Arts and Science, Bachelor of Science: Chemistry and Junior…and i was in liberal studies freshmen year</p>
<p>not that grad schools would care anyway: Law schools don’t care what you majored in, you can get a BA in dog-poo-scooping for all they care, as long as your GPA/LSAT are high; Med schools want to see a high GPA/MCAT, research, good science grades…Grad schools want to see high grades in your major, GRE scores and relevant research/publications. In general, no one cares about MAP or LSP classes or random classes irrelevant to your major.</p>
<p>Hello, this is my first post!</p>
<p>I was accepted to NYU Liberal Studies about a week ago. I had never heard of it before, so was skeptical about the program. Considering I didn’t expect to get accepted to NYU, I was very happy. I applied to Gallatin initially so LS is not much different in small class sizes, writing intensive, etc. </p>
<p>I would like to study in Paris. Has anyone done this program or heard anything about it? Are there language requirements?</p>
<p>Also, my top choice is/was Sarah Lawrence. From my understanding, the LS program and SLC are very different: SLC has almost no requirements while LS has many. Is anyone else interested in Sarah Lawrence? What do you think? You can also email me at <a href="mailto:rachelfpotter@gmail.com">rachelfpotter@gmail.com</a></p>
<p>I’ll be at the information session this thursday, hope to see some of you there.</p>
<p>quick question: during sophomore year, are the only classes required for the LSP Cultural Foundations III and Social Foundations III? (considering you completed all other required courses freshman year?)</p>
<p>:) actually i just found the answer to that ^question, however i do have another one… how many electives can sophomores take compared to freshman? i read that freshman usually take 1 per semester…</p>
<p>I have a question. On my letter, it says that I am offered to go to NYU in London, England. What if I want to go to the one in NYU, is that possible?</p>
<p>And I’m still a bit confused from the other posts I’ve read. Are the english courses at LSP harder? (I’m an international student with weak English foundation and I’m worried if it’s harder than the usual english courses.)</p>
<p>thank you!</p>
<p>Someone please reply to this question that I posted yesterday:
Would choosing to study at the NYC location be more economical and cheaper compared to the international sites?</p>
<p>I am debating between going to florence or paris and i would love if anyone could give me more info on either of those places in regards to dorming, classes, and the lifestyle?</p>
<p>thank you so much</p>
<p>Paris changed my life. Paris is a challenging city if you don’t speak French, but many people in Paris speak English. It’s a gorgeous city full of history, beauty and wonder. It is VERY VERY similar to NYC, so if you are used to big cities, making the switch to Paris will be much easier. </p>
<p>I took a grad class in Paris, so I can’t speak for academics, but oh man, what I would give to be in Paris again.</p>
<p>I definitely want to attend the liberal studies program and I have the option to choose to spend my freshman year either at NYU in New York or at one of their international sites. I really want to spend the first year in NY to get comfortable with everything before leaving, but I really want to study abroad as well. So, I was just wondering if anyone knows what the policy is for studying abroad sophomore year of the liberal studies program. Can I do it? Are there any requirements?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>@preawlert - no, the courses in LSP are definitely not harder than English courses in CAS; I would guess they’re about the same for the most part. A freshmen year LSP Writing class will of course be easier than an advanced English Lit class for English majors though. </p>
<p>@steveboi27 - well if you consider costs like transportation and studying abroad being expensive, probably. And i’m sure room/board varies depending on location…i would email NYU if I were you</p>
<p>@sydneylynnxx - yes, you can study abroad sophomore year. You will have to fill out a study abroad application sometime during freshmen year - and i believe there is a required language and culture class at every location (for example, Italian if you go to Florence, etc). Even in London I believe there is some type of “culture” class required. But of course you would pick the other classes you take.</p>
<p>My D applied to CAS and was accepted to LSP instead. Does this mean come April 1st when the letters arrive, she has no chance of being accepted into CAS her freshman year?
Thanks</p>
