<p>Is NYU close to the Tribeca area?</p>
<p>i must aask - is it incredible? anyone taking it out there?</p>
<p>bump.</p>
<p>how much do NYU students take advantage of NYC? like do they spend most of their freetime in their dorms or do they party it up in NYC?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Hmm, it's not exactly close. I can probably walk to NYU from Tribecca, where my high school is, in about 45 minutes to an hour, if I'm walking with a friend. It's not too bad of a walk though but there also is public transportation.</p>
<p>For dylin - I'm not an expert - just throwing out my opinion - a great job after Stern is not a sure thing. The debt is. I would take the scholarship and do very well and go to a top business school for an MBA. That will cost you less (2 years vs. 4years) and you might even get a company to chip in.</p>
<p>I'm going into NYU with a communications major, but I'm still somewhat confused on how the program at NYU works. Will I still be able to delve into film and photography and work them into my major even though I will not be going to Tisch?</p>
<p>Hey everyone, </p>
<p>I'm from the UK (Wales), currently last year of high school, and I've just been accepted to Tisch for a BFA in Drama. :)</p>
<p>Mainly wondering if there are any other international students (particularly ones from the UK or at Tisch) who could tell me how they're finding NYU life?
I'm really excited about going but my two big concerns are finance (any info about where to apply for scholarships would be SO much appreciated!) and that I'll really miss my family and friends because I've never lived away from home for more than 2 weeks before.</p>
<p>I'd really appreciate any advice/info anyone can offer! And if there are specifically any other UK Tisch students, please PM me or something because I have loads of random questions, lol..</p>
<p>Thanks in advance guys!</p>

<p>question: can you transfer (if your GPA is perfect enough;P) from CAS to Stern if youre studying econ? like in your third year or so?</p>
<p>How awful are the required classes? I really abhor the idea of them, but it's either NYU or SLC and though I keep changing my mind, today NYU is appealing to me because it's larger. But the idea of spending freshman year learning how to learn sounds terrible. So what are the required classes like-- how big are they, and do you actually learn anything good from them?</p>
<p>How many required classes are there? (For Stern BTW.)</p>
<p>NYU is amazing. It's definitely a really unique college- I doubt there's any other place in the world like it. Even if you're a NYC native, like I am, NYU is a completely different experience. We have events going on EVERY SINGLE DAY. If you're ever bored you just have to login to your NYU account to see what's going on during the day- you're garunteed at least an art exhibit or a concert from Steinhardt that you can sit in on. If not, Tisch holds INCREDIBLE performances! Whoever you are, you will find something that you LOVE here. They make SUCH a big deal about student life- we have all the clubs you can possibly think of, and it's so easy (almost too easy) to get addicted to them. We have university-wide events that are a HUGE deal and everyone comes out to support their individual school. There is a LOT of NYU Pride. We also have a great international program- we have our own campuses abroad in Paris, Berlin, Prague, Madrid, Athens, Florence, GHANA, SHANGHAI... We have amazing faculty members in ALL of our schools... We're REALLY diverse in our interests, passions... I would say NYU is the best thing that's ever happened to me.
A few things about NYU that you should look out for: there's no campus. This is actually a huge deal. So many people transfer out simply because they want to experience the campus life- and if that's what you want in a college, definitely don't come to NYU. We have a park, but it's not our campus- there are places in NYC where you can hang out, and you'll probably run into other NYU students but there's no exclusively-NYU campus.
Our sports are also not too strong- if you're into football, we don't have a football team. I heard the fencing team and dance teams are pretty good but no one really makes a big deal out of the sports- minus the athletes themselves.
Otherwise, the student life is excellent, the professors are incredible, academics are challenging, the people and faculty are GREAT, it's an experience you really can't get anywhere else.
hope it helps!</p>
<p>yes- you can take classes in any school with your free electives. you'll definitely have a couple electives as a communications major.</p>
<p>Hi, I was accepted to NYU with a generous financial aid package through the HEOP program. I am currently planning to major in Computer Science. Does anyone know if it's a good idea to study Comp sci here or should i go to Stevens instead?</p>
<p>i have a comp sci minor. i think the department is great, with some very interesting professors. after less than one year of intro-level courses, i got a great internship at a top investment bank--so big firms definitely respect our program. at that internship, and others i've had since then, i've also met some really bright people from stevens who studied compsci/engineering. they seem to like it there too. i don't think you can go wrong :)</p>
<p>Has anyone done this? Is it worth it? What's the difference between doing this program and just being a CAS student (besides the financial aid)?</p>
<p>i'm in the scholars program, and its great. in fact, its the reason i chose nyu. besides the money, they take you on two unforgettable week-long trips abroad in freshman and sophomore years. first year is florence, and 2nd year is your choice. you stay at pretty luxurious hotels and go on awesome tours. the friends you meet usually end up being your best friends throughout school. oh, and the trips are free. the program requires you to do honors in your major, maintain a certain gpa, do community service, do research on a topic of your choice, and to study abroad for one full semester.</p>
<p>Music to my ears ;) Now its time to bring up my GPA good enuff for NYU ! ! !</p>
<p>Wow, ilovenewyork, you just got me even more excited about NYU!!! Thanks!!! I can't say how much I'm looking forward to this right now :D</p>
<p>I feel I offer an interesting perspective since I went to NYU for my undergrad degree (B.M. in Piano Performance) and now for my Ph.D. in music.</p>
<p>NYU is definitely "worth it" <em>if</em> you make something of your time here. I started out in the engineering program, found out it wasn't for me, and transferred into the piano program. People tend to complain a lot about the Steinhardt School of Education's music program but I found it excellent. I transferred a tremendous amount of credits and was able to take music technology classes, music business classes, enough music composition classes to have a double major if NYU allowed those.</p>
<p>As a graduate student, I have GA'd for several different courses in the music department, in particular the core curriculum "Expressive Cultures" class. The best thing about NYU is that there is <em>such</em> a wide range of students. </p>
<p>Not everyone takes advantage of how welcoming the professors are. The one I worked with constantly asked people to send him e-mail and drop by his office and ask questions about music. In a 90 person class, you really could get personal attention if you wanted, too bad people rarely did.</p>
<p>One thing that was really amazing is how much the faculty asked us to find students who were particularly intelligent and independent thinkers so that they could be encouraged to apply for national scholarships.</p>
<p><b>hi</b></p>
<p>im just testing this out, im about to edit it.</p>
