<p>I know it's a pretty big difference, but anyone know inside info?</p>
<p>I personally disliked NYU's campus, location, size and my general perception of its student body was kinda negative. Also they weren't strong in my field of study.</p>
<p>Yeah, I disliked the fact that there is absolutely no campus. My friend is a Freshman there this year as a pre-law/pre-med or something ridiculous. She likes the courses, but I can tell she's unhappy due to the severe lack of unity of a campus/community. Both are great schools, but I would go with Tufts, unless you're going into the Arts...</p>
<p>or business. NYU-Stern is great, Tufts has no business school.</p>
<p>i think you should decide this by thinking what kind of school you like. i personally dont like, or even hate nyu's type of schoo (no campus, RIGHT in a city etc.), so even though i planned to study business, i didnt apply.</p>
<p>Tufts has a much better reputation.</p>
<p>Back when I was in high school, NYU would not have even been a safety school - no way would my parents have even let me apply. Although admissions might have gotten competitive in recent years, it lacks the reputation and quality of Tufts. </p>
<p>Unless it's NYU-Stern and you want business, go to Tufts.</p>
<p>NYU actually has a better "practical reputation" and travels well around the US. But with the exception of Stern, Tufts has a better reputation for grad schools.</p>
<p>Like everyone else said, it really depends on what type of school you're looking for. If you love to live in the city, go NYU. If you want a traditional college campus, go Tufts.</p>
<p>agreed w/Ph0enix. People think NYU is a good school because they've heard of it - but in terms of academics, if it's not Stern or Tisch, it's not much.</p>
