<p>I'm kind of looking for the whole "college experience," so I'm wondering how social or individual the students are, considering there is no true campus, and the fact that the non-existent campus is in the most populated city in the US. Do you just bond with your classmates and floormates or is there a possibility to meet other people as well during activities?</p>
<p>lots of club and bar and alcohol, just make sure you get a striped button down and a fake ID. and make sure your friends dont one up you while you are on your cell phone talking to another girl because that is really messed up . this will happen to you if you go to club cabana.</p>
<p>oops sorry about that. Theres a lot to do, and you'll meet friends everyone. In the beginning you'll hang out with people .on your floor, and you'll eventually meet people you click with better (through friends of friends and such). Clubs are a good way to make people. You'll make a handful in recitations, but not too many. Theres a **** load to do in the city, and its ALOT more fun than other colleges ive stayed at, just have to work a little hard in the beginning to get a good group of friends.</p>
<p>College experience? Hell if such a grandiose idea exists. The fact that we don't have a campus does make it harder to socialize, but if you REALLY crave "friendship" you can make it happen.</p>
<p>mmm yeah i was wondering the same thing. its one of my bigger concerns about attending nyu. like is it hard to find a close group of friends?</p>
<p>it is not hard making friends at all
I still don't understand how the whole not having a campus thing has to do with making frineds</p>
<p>you will meet the majority of your friends in your dorm you can also meet them in class, gym, clubs
how does having a quad make you have more friends? If anything not going to frat parties where there are 093824038 people and instead being ina room with 10-15 will help you get to know people a lot more. During welcome week you will probably travel aroudn with your roommate/floormates and meet people through people and that is how you will make friends.</p>
<p>Make sure you make an effort to meet your hall mates during welcome week. I made the mistake of just hanging out with a few people I met on Facebook the first couple of weeks, and it definitely was a hindrance the first couple of months, since i really wasn't "in" with the people on my floor. Even if you don't like them very much, its nice to have people to watch tv with/eat/video games/etc.</p>
<p>We're speaking in relative terms here, buddy. Compared to your typical flagship state school, where people have a quad (among many other things), socialization is more difficult because of the inherent nature of our school.</p>
