New York University is best known for its prestigious location in the heart of Manhattan. The University not only has the location; it has achieved academic excellence as a large urban research center with a small-school feel. The sports management program that I am enrolled in is one of many great majors to choose from at NYU. However, it is the opportunities that are presented in New York City that make the University so unique.

Tisch. Tisch is the School of Arts at New York Univeristy, and is the number one film school in the nation. Plenty of attention-grabbing alumni have graduated from this university and the chances of getting a job straight out of Tisch are very high.

NYU is what you make it. There are oppertunities, especially for musicians, everywhere you look. But you have to know how to make the best of them and make your own destiny.

the amazing access to new york city and the strength of its research/arts/business programs. this gives you resources for extra curriculars, as well as your future career and research. It also makes you grow up a little faster: it truly is a school amidst a bustling city so there's no sheltering from the 'real world.'

NYU is known for its incredible diversity. It is a very open minded school win regards to sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, and individuality. The city is our campus, so while there is not a lot of unity or fraternity among students, everyone can find a niche. The school is excellent at preparing students for life post-university. The school is extremely liberal.

It's lack of a real campus. Which is a very good aspect.
