New York University

NYU is located in the Village. The neighborhood is inundated with bars, clubs, restaurants, and yoga studios. SoHo is within walking distance. You'll never be bored if you attend NYU. Many people have complained about NYU's abuse of eminent domain, but isn't a college supposed to expand to meet the needs of its growing student population? Columbia is doing the same thing. Even the law school that I attend, CUNY, recently moved to a new campus.

The bathrooms in the school are all clean. The food at the dining hall is pretty good. The Coles gym is better than many private gyms in the city. I remember the Bobst Library before they added the suicide partitions.

The only reason that I didn't give NYU a 5 is because of its ridiculously high tuition. There are many kids from the NYC specialized high schools who have the grades to get into NYU but eschew NYU and attend CUNY Honor's due to NYU's tuition. If you have a choice between NYU and one of the Ivies, go to the Ivy. Nevertheless, NYU is an impressive school (and the females who attend are fairly attractive).

NYU don't care about students period. They are sooo rude!  I spoke to a few representatives at NYU and all were rude to me. I called NYU to speak to a VA rep because I am getting out of Active Duty in the Air Force and wanted to continue my education in Psychiatry.  The representative I spoke to (Clara) was very mean, rude, so impatient and kept talking back to me with a bad attitude. I was just surprised by her attitude, I just had a few questions about the program, how to apply and about the benefits.  She was frustrated by all the questions and I just said thank you and hung up and decided not to enroll in NYU. 

-The faculty is excellent.  They are all experienced professors, but also come with plenty of real world experience so they can call on that and not just traditional text book material.

-A very diverse student body, with lots of different backgrounds and work experiences.  This makes for very interesting class discussions and lively debates.

-The course offerings are top notch.  Stern offered a discipline - Entertainment, Media, and Technology - that no other school offered.  Though, I think they are most famous for their Finance offerings.

-Many opportunities for DBi - Doing Business in - which are 1-2 week trips to foreign countries to study a particular subject, for credit.

-Beautiful campus on Washington Square Park.

-Not gonna lie, it's expensive.  But worth it.  When I looked at the job placement and starting salary for NYU grads, the cost of the school was well justified.
