<p>How are the people at NYU? In other words, what kind of personality should u have in order to "fit in."</p>
<p>Just be yourself.</p>
<p>Self sufficient and reasonably goal oriented. Or were you asking what TV channel to watch?</p>
<p>No offence but if you are asking about "Fitting In" in NY that is probably not a question... Especially, in the city.</p>
<p>If you try to become someone you are not people will see it and you will become an outcast :D</p>
<p>Yes.... and really, who cares? Even if there were a "fit in" personality type, is your own that worthless so as to adopt someone else's?</p>
<p>Visit NYC and look around your- every "type" of person you can imagine lives here. NYU reflects that diversity. Why would you want to conform to a certain personality or type? </p>
<p>College is definitely the time to break away from social guidelines that may have held you down or restricted you in high school and NYU is a great place to do that.</p>
<p>dude your hella lame . . . dont be a tool</p>
<p>Okay, to the OP - the answers you've gotten on this thread should give you an idea of what people are like at NYU. Sorry my answer was peevish, but you should understand that NYU is the last place to worry about something like that. The great thing about NYU is that there isn't a formula to 'fit in'. </p>
<p>Just love everything about NYC and be able to wipe your own butt.</p>
<p>I think it was a legitimate question. While all schools have some diversity, there are schools that are very "preppy", very "jocky", attract lots of hippies, etc. A student who would be happy at Wesleyan may not be happy at a small conservative school. I live in NY and NYU is a liberal school (except maybe Stern) without obvious "school spirit" activities and also not a good match is you are into sports (watching). On the other hand it is such a big school most everybody ought to be able to find friends. I think you also have to be able to deal with a fairly high stress level -not due to the academics as much as just living in NYC where it is hard to find a peaceful spot or truly be alone (as opposed to lonely).</p>
