<p>The title is pretty self explanatory. Which is better for a Math and Computer Science major? </p>
<p>How are they different?
Which has the more closely knit community?
Where are the study abroads better?
Where do I have a better chance at getting into a prestigious grad school?
Where do I have a better chance at getting a job? </p>
<p>I am so confusedddd. Please help! :/</p>
<p>No difference for grad school acceptance. It is more dependent on you.</p>
<p>No difference for jobs. It is more dependent on you.</p>
<p>Likely little to no difference in study abroad, many schools not only have their own set ups but let you pick as long as it is a reputable program. Check their websites.</p>
<p>I think anyone who does even basic reading will know that NYU doesn’t have a traditional campus and students are more dispersed with UVA being the more closely knit community.</p>
<p>Great choices between the two, and to which brownparent and others have alluded or would have, they are completely different u’s. UVa - southern elegance, antebellum architecture, sylvan countryside; NYU - big city with campus blended into cityscape. UVa, perhaps more of the traditional type of academic courses; NYU, with a load of professions; though I’m not discounting UVa’s great professions, either.</p>
<p>NYU takes a lot of heat because it doesn’t have a traditional campus. But I think it’s ingeniously designed, with only a few banners to let someone know he/she is in the middle of campus, and a fairly generic NYC park nearby to give the treesy effect. Awesome…</p>
<p>Have fun in choosing which ever one you will attend.</p>
<p>Considerably more opportunities in NY than Charlottesville. I lived there for 10 years and couldn’t wait to get out. Pretty but very limiting.</p>
<p>Thanks guys! I’m an international student and visited NYU a week ago; didn’t have time to visit UVa though. I thought NY was a bit too overwhelming for me. It seemed too big and I thought I’d get lost in the crowd (childish, I know). However, my dad said I’d get used to it after some time. </p>
<p>Is UVa more (what’s the word for it?) homey? </p>
<p>it “looks” like the ideal campus, with historical/elegant/stately buildings, greens and landscaping, etc.</p>
<p>Just wanted to dredge up this post to make a correction, according to a fanboy of UVa that I know. 
I like UVa too, but I’m not a fan of the U as this person would be. </p>
<p>UVa’s architecture is classified as Jeffersonian, because as is well known, Thomas Jefferson founded the U in his latter years. According to my five-minute research, he was one of the fathers of the Neoclassical Age of architecture, particularly of Greek inspiration as well as a bit of Roman, that inspired this age in the south, with its tall marble pillars in its structures as the Parthenon… Since he founded the U in 1819, this Jeffersonian Architecture, particularly the Rotunda and his beloved Monticello, could be labeled as “antebellum,” which specifically related to the US means, pre-American Civil War, though the Antebellum age was probably closer to the War in 1830s through 1850’s or so. So Jeffersonian Architecture, it is. Feel free to make any further corrections, </p>
