NYU is a very diverse school, you'll meet people from all around the world from very rich and diverse backgrounds.
The university doesn't really have a tradition college experience and that can get frustrating sometimes

NYU will not provide you with a typical college experience– the campus is not insular at all, rather the school buildings and its community are spread out over the city. However, if that sounds appealing to you, along with good public transport and the opportunity to find incredibly niche communities and discover your more whole identity, then NYU may be for you. You will take fascinating classes with incredibly qualified professors, many of whom are also active in their field– the opportunities to network and connect with other young minds in your field of study are unparalleled. Campus resources and support are comprehensive and the staff are wonderful, but they can be difficult to access or even learn about.
NYU has been so welcoming starting off as a freshman, making sure I understand everything. There has been great resources provided and I believe I will succeed at NYU with the networking opportunity's and the support from my peers and professors.
I love the school, the community, and the culture of NYU. It is an incredibly accepting school, the school fosters a beautiful environment for immigrants.
New York University is an okay school depending on what you go for. As a film student, I know I could have had a better experience if I was better supported as a student. Many aspect of film that is unconventional are underfunded and understaffed which makes it very difficult for students who may want to take an non traditional path in the world of film.
I love NYU. I’ve met so many amazing people, I’ve learned a lot. There’s so many resources here for people pursuing all sorts of career paths and I really can’t imagine myself going to school anywhere else.
I really like the campus. It is right in the city which is a great way to explore and get out of your comfort zone. Meeting people does require more effort since it is an open campus, but if you do put in the effort most classmates are super nice. The professors teach really well (most at least) and are very engaging in class. There are also a lot of academic resources on campus to help you out with professional development.
An experience that prepares you for the real world. Being in New York City is no joke. It helps you grow as an adult and you're faced to take accountability for your actions. The amount of opportunities you have here at NU is amazing, and are insane. Being at NYU is like having the world in the palm of your hand. You have access to an amazing alumni network, amazing faculty and staff, and amazing opportunities to help you in your future endeavors, all because you go to the school. Plus, the location is a global hub for any and everything.
Big university, lots of class options, staff is great and everyone is super nice. However, it is very expensive and financial aid office often does not help at all, which is why I'm here applying for scholarships.
My experience at NYU was transformative, filled with growth, lifelong friendships, and cherished memories.
NYU is an institution with great diversity and an enriching environment. The professors you will have are experts in their respective fields and are always willing to assist you as long as you reach them. There are many opportunities for you to join a research laboratory which will grant you invaluable experience. Undeniably, some courses are quite difficult, however, there are many ways in which you could seek help. Do not be afraid to reach out!
NYU has incredibly nice teachers as well as buildings. I had a very nice experience in my principles of marketing class. One thing I would like to see change is the NYU home website .
So far I am loving being here at NYU. It is very inclusive and I have a lot of resources available. I am so happy to be here
A great place to study and enjoy New York City. I really like the study atmosphere here, with professors teaching the lectures and all the New York City providing opportunities everywhere out of the class.
Great connections to faculty and alumni made throughout the university, unfortuneatly many with the focus of just making connections but not much on the way of growing and cementing connections you already have. Status and money play more of a role in how you are perceived than most involved in the university would like to admit.
All round amazing university. I went to college of dentistry, and took some classes at school of professional studies. The professors are caring and intelligent. They also have the student interest in seeing them succeed in their careers.
Generally the academics are fantastic, but the instructors can be hit or miss in regards to how well they are at teaching. The overall atmosphere is great, which mostly amounts to the location being NYC but still. A massive recent issue is overpopulation when it comes to housing, something that has been consistently overlooked by those in charge. This has led to students being housed in hotels, something that could've easily been avoided by both admitting less people along with buying/creating more housing buildings (also NOT shutting down a dorm for renovation the same year NYU admitted the most students). Also, the food has gotten better with the new dining location so that's a plus. Most of the other dining hall food, however, is tolerable.
I like the variety of course work available to all students, no matter your major. I like the many resources available to help students have a successful educational experience like small group discussion classes that review materials covered in large lecture classes; paper writing support, TA support, etc. Also, the many opportunities NYU offers students to take advantage of events happening around New York City. Lastly, the extensive Study Abroad Program open to all students, even Freshmen.
I am an incoming transfer student. So far everyone has been very helpful. I was fortunate enough to receive on campus housing. There are not alot of financial resources beyond loans so far but I am applying for every scholarship possible.
I love my classes at NYU so much. The class sizes are always reasonable, and I feel like even the lecture style classes allow for collaboration and conversation. For most classes attendance is mandatory, but this allows for students to learn as much as they can and creates a class environment where you get to meet the people around you.
