<p>Hi everyone! I'm still undecided when it comes to Michigan versus NYU. I have lived in Michigan all my life and would love to go the City. However, I would like to hear some of your thoughts comparing academics, social atmosphere, etc. If I stay in Michigan, I would have to start in the summer, and if I go to NYU, I have to do the GSP program (I have heard that one can transfer to CAS after one year?). Thanks for your help in advance!</p>
<p>You can transfer straight to CAS if you maintain a 3.0 GPA. You can do so after one year if you have enough AP credits or other transfer credits (from college-level courses taken in high school) accepted to finish your Core requirements. </p>
<p>I never went to University Michigan but I heard there are many asians there and it does have a traditional campus. NYU is really a number of buildings lying around Greenwich Village located in Manhattan so it does not really have much of a campus. </p>
<p>Social life would be great in both schools but it would be quite a different experience since they would have different activities to do considering one has a traditional campus while the other one has the city as the "campus". </p>
<p>I think academics is pretty much the same. Both schools, according to ratemyprofessors.com, has pretty much the same kind of "easy" or "hard" teachers.</p>
<p>Thanks for your response!
I took two AP exams last year, US History-4, Psychology-4
Planning on English lit and government this year. So I don't know how that will add up.
Haha--im Asian too and a ton of my friends are going there so I don't know if I really want to stay or try something new.
My only concern was that I would basically be paying a differece of $30,000 per year and I was wondering if the money was worth it to go to NYU.</p>
<p>What is your objective? If you just want to "go to the city" then take summer classes at NYU - you don't have to go crazy with a schedule, but it would be a reasonably inexpensive way to both get some credits (check in advance to make sure they transfer) and live in the city. And unlike a lot of other colleges, where the summer semester has a distinctly different atmosphere, you'll be in NYC...</p>
