<p>Alot of questions here, so Ill go one at a time.</p>
<p>For club sports, the website is listed below. At NYU some of our sports programs are only availible on the club level. This is due to a lack of interest in sports here. For example our baseball team is a "club" sport. However club sports are still competitive, and require tryouts etc. However, they are less serious than divison x sports.</p>
<p>GroovyGeek,</p>
<p>1) I'm not going to disclose all the schools I was admitted to mainly because this is not a personal thread about me, but instead a thread designed to help you guys.</p>
<p>Since my goal here is to help others, I do not understand how this will help you. However, if you want suggestions on where YOU should apply, feel free to ask.</p>
<p>All I will say is that I applied to the usual suspects (other similarly ranked schools). I choose to go to NYU becuase I wanted to be in Manhattan and also because it is a highly respected place of study for those that do not have ivy-league SAT scores.</p>
<p>2) Yes, I would choose NYU. I enjoy it here.</p>
<p>3) I am not sure what would qualify as a memorable academic experience so im not sure if I can answer this. </p>
<p>4) NYU is at times an isolated community, and there is really no central "college spirit" and no one cares about SPORTS. However, if you find a group of friends, "the city is your playground." It is what you make of it.</p>
<p>5) NYU is such a large school that inevitably you will find others with similar interests as you. CAS is not extremely competitive, and is a place you will thrive if you WANT to. There is no stern curve, so getting a's are managable.</p>
<p>(the stern curve is where only 10-15% of the people in the class can get an A regardless of what grade you actually earn. For example, Joe has an 85 average, and should get a B, but he is in the bottom 20% of the class and instead lands a C.)</p>
<p>6) The school separation is artificial. Schools are grouped by major so the reason you are not in stern has more to do with the fact that you are not majoring in business and not that you arent "good enough."</p>
<p>Plus, its not like all the academic buildings are off limits. Many CAS students have some classes in the stern building due to space limitations.</p>
<p>Last few questions...</p>
<p>1) GSP intro classes are for the most part easy. There is usually alot of reading involved, but not much else. Read the books, and come to class and your grade should not be a problem. The only class that is troublesome is writing, but CAS students hate writing the essay as well, so its just something we all need to learn to live with.</p>
<p>According to an NYU statistic, nearly 40% of students study abroad. They have MANY locations, and it seems like a fun thing to do. There is probably no other time in your life that you could go live in anotehr country for 3-4 months, without being fluent in the local language, and without any major responsibilites. Plus, you are at the NYU facility so there is many other kids in your position. It seems like it would be a great experience.</p>
<p>2) On move in day things are a bit hectic, so you need to come early. Since it is move in day, NYU will let you double park in front of the building to unload your stuff. After you drop it off, you have to go find a spot somewhere, will your kid/other family members wait on line. NYU provides big grey bins to help move all your stuff in. They are on wheels and make it easy to bring all your stuff up.</p>
<p>3) As for the majors, I have no clue. Why decide now? You have plenty of time to decide.</p>
<p>jjim1919, on any given weekends, what do NYU students normally do? say, on a friday night. i'm an international student, and wen i talk to college students in england/canada/australia they're always at bars and stuff, so if you can't do that in the USA what do you do in such a big city? im pretty sure NYU doesnt have like frat parties and stuff right?</p>
<p>Momof3Stars-Son graduated from NYU in spring & move-in Freshman year, as well as others, was much easier than you'd expect. As Collegecheck said, it's organized, lots of help & security. Not any more difficult than it was for child on a more traditional campus. We expected the worst and were greatly relieved! (Moving out not bad, either - always did it at night.)</p>
<p>Thanks, you have all really alleviated my fears. I loved the area of the campus and all of the people we met were very nice and down to earth. I know if my D is accepted there and decides to attend that I could send her and not worry.</p>
<p>So its not too difficult to get A's in the GSP classes? What work is involved besides reading, and what exactly do the classes consist of (lectures, what you learn, ect.)?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>On weekends, you can chill with your friends in your dorm or go out. While many dance clubs are 18+, many students also go to bars. It is college life, like any other college. NYU has frats, although their frat parties are limited and scarce.</p>
<p>chickla,</p>
<p>Getting A's in college depends on the amount of work you do outside the classroom. GSP classes are similar to the required classes in CAS. You must take 2 social foundations (ideas and thought - ancient to modern....rousseau..etc), 2 cultural foundations (classic books....dauntes inferno..etc), 2 writing classes (you write essays), a world cultures class (learn about a foreign culture....asia..etc) a science (darwin, einstein...etc)....</p>
<p>There are a few more classes but for the sake of simplicity I will not explain those.</p>
<p>As far as grading goes, the generic class structure is a midterm, a final, 2 essays and participation. However this obviously depends on the classe. In writing there are no in class exams. You simply read literature, and write and revise essays written on specific themes exhibited in that literature.</p>
<p>Hey, thanks for the responses. They were really helpful!</p>
<p>if you are rejected for freshman fall admission, can you re-apply as a transfer for spring semester, or do you need to wait a full academic year to re-apply?</p>
<p>also, if you are accepted into CAS but realize that you really want to study in Gallatin, what are the procedures involved in switching schools?</p>
<p>Kezbies, im not sue about that. </p>
<p>As for transfering between schools in NYU, it is difficult. Im not sure of the exact procedures and how difficult in particular gallatin is, but stern is nearly impossible to transfer into.</p>
<p>You can try calling NYU and seeing if you can get someone on the line.</p>
