What do you love about NYU?

Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University

<p>There isn't much evidence that NYU is indeed the #1 dream school in the US here on the College Confidential NYU forum. Let's change that. 17 pages of "I'm afraid NYU will be..." threads are not cool.</p>

<p>I'll start, even though I don't go to NYU yet and probably don't have much to contribute.</p>

<p>I love Manhattan. I'm guessing all of you do too, otherwise you would not have applied. Granted, I haven't been there too much, but I'm a big concertgoer and love living in a city, as I grew up in one. I love how international and intercultural NYU is. Having a couch to crash on every continent? Betcha it's cool. I also like the opportunities and job prospect of Stern (the school I have been admitted to).</p>

<p>What do you LOVE about NYU? Current students are welcome to brag!</p>

<p>I will respond based on talks with sonny and his reported experiences:</p>

<p>1) Being able to live in real estate my parents cannot afford</p>

<p>2) Having awesome views of Manhattan from a high floor (even less affordable for most people)</p>

<p>3) Networking, networking, networking - auditioning for a possible spot to perform at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) with freshman year not quite completed (and non-Tisch student)</p>

<p>4) Access to global ethnic cuisines, Indian, Brazilian, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, American, French, Middle-Eastern, etc. Cheap (street carts) to expensive (fancy restaurants)</p>

<p>5) Delicious and cheap slices of pizza from $1-$2 (Two Brothers and Famiglia Pizzeria) Yum!</p>

<p>6) Student body of such variety and interests, NYU is a world in and of itself</p>

<p>7) Great opportunities to befriend people of similar interests (music) while rooming with brilliant scientists/ mathematicians in the process of growing their skills; great range of people to socialize with</p>

<p>8) Musical/ theatrical venues - small and large to enjoy </p>

<p>9) Shopping from glamorous (name labels) to the unique thrift shops</p>

<p>10) Decent variety of food and dining choices in school dining halls</p>

<p>11) Bumping into stars and national figures is not unusual in public venues and right at NYU, John Stewart, “Ralph Fiennes,” stars of the “The Pacific (HBO series), etc.”</p>

<p>12) Great school trips/ study programs to domestic and foreign destinations </p>

<p>13) Live and let live mentality of a large number of people at NYU</p>

<p>14) Walking around different neighborhoods in NYC (too many to exhaust in one year at NYU)</p>

<p>15) Take in Chinese New Year Dragon Dance (eat delicious authentic Chinese in Flushing) one day and eat in French Restaurant (skirt steak, fois gras) the next (both courtesy of parents)</p>

<p>16) School - learning not only through classes but also in living life through experiencing NYC and beyond</p>

<p>17) Participating in and learning though the top-ranked NYU Mock Trial Team</p>

<p>18) Efficient and “affordable” subway system</p>

<p>etc. </p>
