New York University is unique becacuse it is located in the heart of New York City. As you go from class to class, getting through the crowded streets, you are constantly reminded that this is by no means, an ordinary college. Classes take maxaimum use of the university's location by giving assignments that range from analyzing a piece at the MET to listening to an opera. I believe NYU is also unique because it allows one to grow stronger fater. Since there is no campus, you need to learn the city and your way around.

well I feel that the school is every diverse.

Out of all the schools I have visited, NYU has an infinite amount of options to learn what I am interested in. There are over 400 clubs/organizations where I can learn various things such as doing taxes, discjockying, and enhancing my knowledge in science fiction. In addition, NYU has numerous subjects that I can choose from. As someone who doesn't know what career to follow, I can widen my knowledge in different subjects to see what I want to follow. Also, NYU offers tutoring and aid along with my classes that can help me with whatever I need.

We are very accepting to every culture and class of people and open to learning about new lifestyles. Also, we come together through many different forms, unlike the stereotypical ways of sports like most universities are thought to do.

NYU allows students to be immersed in the exhilarating New York City environment while receiving a world-class education.

New York University really lives up to the school's motto "in and of the city." Living in the heart of Greenwich Village gives students unique opportunities for gaining valuable experience through jobs and internships at well-known companies, and nothing compares to living right in the middle of one of the country's largest and most diverse cities. Students are able to learn with others who have unique ethnic and cultural backgrounds and can work together in a microcosm representing this diverse world.

NYU is a very scary place if you don't know what to expect. It's also not worth the debt, so if you aren't getting enough aid to come here without significant loans please go elsewhere. You'll get just as good if not a better education for less elsewhere. It's really not worth the $$ unless you're in Stern or Tisch or have a major in which it would be advantageous to live in NYC for the internships. That's the best thing that this school offers: connections. I'm already blogging, I've interned twice, and I have a huge amount of published clips and I'm just finishing my second year. That being said, opportunities are something you will have to seek out yourself. NYU does not hold your hand and, frankly, does not give two shits about you as a student. You will have to seek out job opportunities and internships yourself, and if you're willing to do that than this school is excellent. It is what you make of it.

I lived in a midwestern small town; NYU is located in an ultra urban environment. I appreciated the campus setting being very different from other schools I considered. While there is a central location at Washington Square, the campus literally becomes the city itself. I have found classes incorportate this unique setting into the curriculum, meeting at museums, author readings, theaters, the United Nations, etc. to make learning literally tied to the world. In addition, the diversity among the students at NYU is second to none and appreciated by all who attend. NYU truly opens the world to its students!

The location! There is always something to do here in Manhattan. There are museums and parks and theaters, cafes and many hole-in-the-wall types of places. There are so many awesome things to discover here. Another uique aspect of NYU is our library. With 12 floors of stacks and two levels underground for private or group studying, the books you need are always at hand and the quiet space you seek is easy to find. It's a very comforting place to be.

New York University does not have a campus. It is located in the middle of Manhattan in New York. While students at most other schools live in a campus area where all the school buildings are located around. However, students at NYU just live in the city. NYU buildings are all over Manhattan and are mixed in with buildings that have no relation to New York University.

New York University campus is part of the city. Many kinds of people from all over the world. I have new friends as far away as CA, OR and FL. Many students are from out of the country. New York is such a big city, so much to see and do. I can walk out my dorm room and something is right there to do - book store, coffee shop, entertainment site, etc. It costs alot more that some colleges.
Jessica
My school, based in the heart of the village, has no true campus but rather a real world in which to live. Living driectly in the city gives us the chance to explore without borders while feeling as though we are a part of something bigger than just a campus or a school. Living in the city provides you will endless opportunities and allows you to gain a greater sense of experience than you would in a typical school campus setting. This makes my college experience of learning go beyond the books and academics.
Grace
Compared to the other schools I considered, New York University was unique because of the lack of a campus. Despite the lack of a campus, there were many ways to get involved and meet people. There are so many clubs at NYU to choose from, and if there isn't a club you like, then you can easily create a club. Although NYU is a big school, there are so many ways to create a smaller community. Lastly, NYU iss unique because it is in the heart of the city.

The momentum to be environmentally responsible is one that is seen in every apsect of the university. It is not only evident in all buildings, but students are encouraged to come up with ideas that will minimize the University's carbon footprint.
Leah
My school is by far the best school for me to go to for acting because it is actually in the city where I want to work once I am out of college. I will get so much more experience because I am in the big city and can see shows and intern while I am going to classes. I haven't had the chance to yet but I can't wait to start.
Katherine
NYU is so unique in a variety of ways, but what stood out the most to me was the idea of options. NYU has every degree one could imagine ? and if a student cannot decide on a major, he or she can create an individualized program of study in the Gallatin division of the university. Literally, you can major in anything that you want! That to me was not only relieving because I am very indecisive, but also refreshing because it really seems like the university cares about making its students happy.
Emily
NYU doesn't have a college campus, so it is entirely integrated with downtown Manhattan. The physical fusion of the college and the city allow for the mental growth of students in an environment that is more like the real world than many other colleges. I am a student, but I am also a resident of one of the largest cities in the world; a city that teaches me almost as much as my courses do.
Sonia
What is unique about New York University compared to other schools that I applied to was the city environment of the campus. Located in Greenwich Village, Washington Square and neighboring SoHo, the campus is ideal for any city lover like myself. Shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and education bundled into one atmosphere; nothing can compare to that.
Kory
New York University is unique because it is very academic based. Many schools? arts programs are more conservatory based, so the student ends up getting a little shortchanged when it comes to academics. As an intellectual student, I am receiving a strong academic education in addition to my arts training at NYU. With this, I will leave a more well-rounded, marketable individual.

New York University is extremely diverse which allows its students to interact with other cultures and learn things about life that are not possible in smaller schools. Being located in the heart of New York City also allows for many more resources than small towns. NYU has partnerships with many companies that can be future employers for its students so there are a great amount of possible internships, volunteer work, and part-time jobs. NYU also gives its students a greater sense of independence while living in such a flourishing, fast-moving city.
