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.

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.

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.

Lindsey

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.
