So far, I've been having a fun time at NYU. It was a rough transition my first year for personal reasons, but I met a ton of amazing and interesting people. For those of you who are not that extroverted, it helps a lot to join student organizations (even if you feel like it'll be too "nerdy" to join). You never know who you'll meet--and it automatically makes a nice community! NYU is a single community, but it's way too big to FEEL like a community. Where NYU shines are the countless pockets of communities that you can find. You're also in NEW YORK CITY, where you can have the feeling of a campus in WSQ, but you have countless activities and sights in New York City.
The academics can be manageable if you just go to class and do your homework. I am also in the humanities (Gallatin). It can be reasonably challenging though in terms of how you apply yourself to the coursework and learning. I really like the variety of classes (although it can also be a challenge to enroll).

Excited for the future. This school is great! This is a brief summary:
New York University (NYU) is a private research university originally founded in New York City but now with campuses and locations throughout the world. Founded in 1831, NYU's historical campus is in Greenwich Village, New York City.[12][13] As a global university, students can graduate from its degree-granting campuses in NYU Abu Dhabi and NYU Shanghai, as well as study at its 12 academic centers in Accra, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Florence, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, Paris, Prague, Sydney, Tel Aviv, and Washington, D.C.[14][15][16]

I love NYU! A lot of loving NYU comes from loving New York City (since the city is the campus) so if you do not love NYC, then NYU is absolutely not the college for you. There are endless resources and tools to help you succeed. I think the one thing that it is important to know is that NYU is a very independent school in the sense that there is not a strong sense of community and you have to be very outgoing to make friends. You won't just be constantly bumping into classmates on the street since it is New York City (although sometimes you will!) If you are outgoing/have strong social skills and love NYC, then I definitely recommend. The academics and resources will not let you down.
