<p>Zay, My best advise as an NYU Tisch parent is: Do not be afraid. I think it is easy to get tripped up between the perception of New York City and New York University. (Like Singapore, yes?) NYU is an urban college within an urban environment. As with all urban environments, there are neighborhoods. NYU is made up of many. Believe me, you will make friends in your studio. You will make friends in your dorm. These actor kids will likely love your cool Asian style. Everyone is at square one. Just bring your talent and your confidence. Honestly, the NYU Tisch kids are good people. Don’t let the jitters get ya! Go for it!</p>
