NYU, ever go there? (transfer, high school, community college)

[nycgirl93]

Tell all, just wanna know how the school is if you've ever been there. how hard it was to get in, what you did to stand out, etc..etcc. oh and how hard was it honestly going to school and trying to make something of yourself in grand ny

just decided to make this an opinion thread, say whatever you'd like (:

I was accepted but declined to attend there. However, my best friend from high school did attend there and I hung out alot.

Basically, its not a rah-rah type of college experience. You make a few friends and that is your social life for the next 4 years. But the school's location is hard to beat and there is an endless myriad of things to do. And its a really good school education wise.

If that appeals to you go for it.

ah NYU...those were the days! I had a great time there, it was an experience that will last in my mind forever. I didnt have any problems getting into the school and I actually transferred there after a few years at a Community College (this helped tremendously with the expense of getting a Bachelors Degree). Anyway I made some close friends while there that I still am in contact with today. Living in NYC was an experience in and of itself and I wouldnt change any of it for the world. It can be easy to get caught up in the big city lifestyle and you do have to be self-disciplined to stay on top of the work. It was never a problem for me though and I think it was a perfect balance. I ended up staying in NYC for a few years after I graduated but the ridiculous expenses of living there eventually led me to leave. I still frequently visit though and NYC remains my fave city in the US!
