<p>How is the social scene at NYU compared to other places. Does a campus without walls surrounding it like most other places do much to hurt/improve social fun?</p>
<p>Not going to lie, the social scene takes work. People don't like to believe that. There is EVERY type of person here, and EVERYONE has the opportunity to create a great social circle within their interests, but some people choose to ***** and moan and wonder why friends aren't knocking on their door on day one.</p>
<p>Welcome Week is great. Talk to people. Everyone. Anyone. JOIN CLUBS. Talk to your floor. Go grab dinner with someone new. There are tons of things to do (bars and clubs, Greek life, shows, jazz bars, parties in your room..) but you need to be able to break out of your shell. The unhappiest people here are poeple who probably would be better off at a campus - things are smaller, social scenes are structured, everyoe knows each other, and you are more to the school than just another face. This IS NYC. I was friends with a huge variety of different people (some tisch drama kids who I would sit and talk about shows this, a bunch of girls to go out with, the core group in my dorm I bummed aroud with, older people, people from other schools..big variety)</p>
<p>Sorry this is a bit rant-ish haha it's not you at all. I just listened to so many people whine this past year (my freshman) and I never helped but wonder what brought them to NYU in the first place.</p>
<p>But yes.. it's a lot different from frat parties, BUT.. it's not at all hurt social activity.</p>
