Rating 3.58 out of 5 642 reviews
I liked the educational experience of challenging yourself, and having the freedom to try explore content one might not find easily. I received my admission in February 2020, and for almost two years took part in online learning (thanks to the pandemic). My only regret or something I would like to see change is a community. This wasn't possible because of the pandemic but when students returned it seemed more cold than ever.
I graduated with honors earning a BA in Liberal Arts from the School of Public Engagement in 2012. I returned to college in my early thirties as I wanted a formal education in a non-traditional environment, especially here in NYC.
I completed 120 credits in nine consecutive semesters whilst working full time. Most of the professors I studied under were supportive, genuine, and approachable. Some were extraordinary. A few were terrible. I forged friendships which I still have to this day from my time there. I hold many, wonderful memories when I was at a juncture during my life where I was stable and prepared to do the work, to learn, and to grow as a person. I wouldn't change my experience for anything. The only real and obvious caveat is the overall cost for tuition, which is astronomical, and not what it was when I attended. It is an enormous financial commitment for which I am still paying for. I implore others to attend TNS, but to outweigh costs. Good luck!

I came to this school because I was sold on their advertising: a fancy liberal arts school in the middle of Manhattan! I was an ambitious high schooler who won the highest scholarship they offer. When I got to the school, it was a whole different story. The professors are nice, but they don't really grade us like a traditional school does. We have very few grades. To some, that may seem ideal, until you realize that most of your grades rely on a couple of assignments. The dorms are nice, and they have a great view of the city, but the neighborhood that they're in is awful. I can't tell you how many times I've been disturbed by screaming or fighting in the street, fires, and even attacks on students, all of which occur outside the dorms. At the beginning of the year, a woman was shot on the street near Loeb Hall. I always feel anxious walking home after dark. What broke the experience for me was the strike that went on for a month. No money back, no word on how to submit my work.
