<p>Personally I’m from NY and had no disillusions about the city before coming to NYU - I love the city and would like to stay here after I graduate. I don’t think it makes sense to attribute a like or dislike of Manhattan to NYU, since they’re separate entities (although NYU’s biggest selling point is our location for most people). </p>
<p>I don’t think specific college makes much difference. One thing I’ve noticed is students in Tisch, Gallatin and Nursing seem to be more close-knit and stick together more often than other schools.</p>
<p>PR review also ranks NYU as the 2nd most expensive college in the country, #1 for Worst Financial Aid in the country, and #1 for Dream School. I don’t think that’s a coincidence. Maybe a lot of people come here looking for their “Dream experience” with really high expectations, is all. Like Missamericanpie pointed out, it’s not Gossip Girl or Sex in the City or whatever. People expecting that need to be realistic.</p>
