<p>Sorry if I'm just making an extra thread, but I was wondering if anyone was accepted into LSP? I want to know who's actually thinking about going! (I know I am [most likely, not sure yet] going!) I would love to meet new people before I go, if I do.</p>

<p>I got accepted and I may go depending on how much it will cost me.</p>
<p>What would you want to study after LSP?</p>
<p>I want to go to CAS for Psychology…</p>

<p>I got accepted to LSP for Florence. Not sure I’m going because it’s so expensive and I’m unsure about spending my first full year abroad. what campuses did you guys get accepted to?</p>

<p>Cricket - I actually originally applied for CAS for Psych, as well!
Hollydays - They said they wanted me to stay in Washington Square, so that’s where I’ll be staying.</p>

<p>kalifornya - Cool! 
Looks like we’re in the same position then.</p>
<p>hollydays - What do you mean you got accepted for Florence? I thought we get a choice…
They told me to pick one and I chose Paris…</p>
<p>Cricket123- my acceptance letter said “we expect you to complete your freshman year at our global center in Florence” I didn’t get a choice except on the app when I ranked the cities. (Florence was my #1 but now I’m unsure)</p>
<p>@hollydays,
Really? That’s interesting…
Did you apply directly?
was Florence #1 for you?</p>
<p>Got accepted to the Shanghai one! I wanted to go there I guess, but there’s been a medical issue in my family and I e-mailed them about it. They’re moving my “start site” to NYC so I can be with my family. The thing is though, I’m not dorming so I’m afraid I’ll be out of the loop and without a good opportunity to meet people =(</p>
<p>^
I think it depends on your curfew really. I live in northern NJ and have a friend whose older brother commutes to a university in NY and is able to socialize but usually doesn’t get home till about 3am 
So if you think you can spend (not that much but) a fair amount of time in the city, you should be fine.
Plus, I heard it helps to make most of your classes on the same days and keep Fridays free so you have a 3-day weekend to spend with friends etc.
I guess just make sure you socialize a lot during orientation and make plans to hang out with people.</p>
<p>Cricket - I didn’t apply directly, I applied for CAS at first. I remember being able to number my top choices on the common app, and it was either Shanghai or Paris or something. Forgot. </p>
<p>I made my deposit, and now I already know where I want to house… do you guys have any idea when/how we can start choosing?</p>
<p>I’m going! Then… idk, maybe Psychology, maybe Pre-Law…</p>
<p>Btw, I’m staying in NYC ! <3 lol</p>
<p>@kalifornya You’ll get an e-mail with housing app instructions!</p>
<p>I made my deposit and am starting at NYU in the fall. I was thinking international relations, maybe politics. Totally up for change, but that’s the advantage of LSP! I applied to CAS, but I really ended up liking what I heard about Core.</p>
<p>I wanna study Politics, but am going to LSP. I already accepted. I’m nervous, to be honest, because I haven’t heard the best things about the program.</p>
<p>@pasdeclaud,
I have actually heard some pretty positive things about the program. What worries you? Did you attend Weekend on the Square? That helped qualm my fears because I never realized just how large the program is; around 1,000 freshman are in it every year!!</p>
<p>That being said, there definitely are some downsides which is why I am wondering what you don’t like or have heard.</p>
<p>One big downside in my opinion is how some people apparently do look down on those who are in the Liberal Studies Program, because people see us as “CAS Rejects” or something, but I know some people who have a MUCH better application (grades, ECs, scores, etc.) and are going into the same program. Apparently no one really has any idea how NYU picks who is fit for LSP. For some people (including me, kind of), it also seems like a waste of time, doing 2 years of liberal arts classes that are apparently pretty easy when you can already be starting on your major if you know what you want to do. </p>
<p>But then again, we should all graduate in 4 years like everyone else, and we end up with a diploma from NYU and the school we end up going to (CAS, Gallatin, Tisch, whatever it is we choose). And maybe we can get our credits done the first two years and then really focus on what we want to do our last 2 years of undergrad. I also like how there are small classes, because that was one thing I was looking for during my college search (smaller classes at a big university). It’s great for me at least because I’m really scared I won’t be able to meet much people because of how big the school is and how there’s no campus, but the small classes will help me meet people. Also to me, it’s kind of like a “second chance”, which I’m not sure is a good way of seeing it or not. I may not have gotten into CAS, but I will have a chance again junior year - but then after finding out that I’ve gotten into LSP and I can choose what program I’m in, I changed my mind and realised that Gallatin is best for me. So I don’t know, I guess I’m a lot more optimistic about LSP now.</p>
<p>Going off of what kalifornya said:
From what I have heard/read, yes, there will be some people who will (briefly) make a joke about LSP but I don’t think it will be a big deal, really. And, like you said, after two years we will all be in CAS or Steinhardt etc and getting a diploma from NYU so it’s not as much of an issue as some people may make it out to be, in my opinion.</p>
<p>Plus, freshman year we get one and sophomore year we get to take two electives (which can be courses at other schools of NYU) so the LS program definitely doesn’t intend to separate us from the other schools (except maybe Stern :p). :D</p>
<p>And the small classes is a big advantage, I think, as well as the fact that the courses are very discussion, essay, and reading-based rather than textbook learning and multiple choice tests (which I feel I don’t learn as much from). I prefer discussing and writing about a topic, I despise textbooks haha.</p>
<p>@cricket123</p>
<p>I wasn’t able to attend Weekend on the Square, so I didn’t get to calm my nerves. 
I’m just weary of the actual classes since they aren’t taught by professors. I do like the smaller classes, so hopefully the transition will be smooth from HS to NYU.</p>
<p>I got into LSP London… What are the chances if I request to switch from the London campus to the NYC campus? I really wanted to study in NYC freshman year regardless of LSP or not. What are the chances? thanks.</p>
<p>Did anyone get the e-mail about the course selection? Some kind of handbook online? The link doesn’t work for me for some reason… can we find it on the NYU website?</p>
