New York University Top Questions

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about New York University?

Lindsey

I talk the most about the wonderful professors that I have had so far. I have learned a lot from each and everyone of them. While their teaching styles vary, I have not found a problem with any of them up to date. Each professor that I have had has gotten me excited about the course and ready to learn the subject; engaging the class in different and creative ways.

Keziah

Tisch School of the Arts at NYU and taking complete advantage of the city. Using everything around you to help you grow as a human, artist, and intellectual.

Keeley

I wouldn't be the person I am today if it weren't for the diverse student body and and real life city experience that being a student at NYU allowed me. I feel so lucky to have started my journey into adulthood at NYU.

Azzerraya

When I tell my friends about NYU I probably brag about the study abroad program and the different types of courses offered that aren't seen at most schools. I remember last year there was a class on guitar hero the video game and my friends couldn't believe it. When I mention the study abroad program I am usually bragging about the wonderful places we get to dorm in such as the villa in Florence.

Jacob

This school is great because of its location, in New York City. There are thousands of internships here that help beef up your resume and the career center at the school is good at helping you find them. I also feel like going to a school that is well known like New York University will help when applying for jobs. The location of the school also provides a great social scene, and can always keep you busy.

Gemma

I brag about a school that uses its amazingly diverse, complex location as another educational tool. Living in New York City means that I have access to almost any cultural experience I could find, as well as a community with which to discuss it. I tell my friends how nice it is, in such a big city, to know all my professors by their first names, and to be able to have a coffee with them if I need to. NYU uses its size to make you feel at home, not alienated.

Nicole

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. I've seen famous people walking on the sidewalks, I've gone to a few music shows near by, I've been to Times Square, Central Park, etc.

Jessica

The key bragging point about my school is that is is in the city. On any given weekend I can attend a broadway show or other performance with the discounted tickets provided by my school. There is never a dull moment, we have so many places to experiment with such as different cuisines at restaurants that it feels as though we are learning much more than could ever be taught in a classroom. In this way we can experience the vast culture of the city, and in a broader sense the country.

Leah

Honestly, I brag about the fact that I love it. Regardless of how many hours I have to put in, it's all worth it because the work in my field of study (acting) is the most fun thing I've ever done. It makes me want to pursue my career in acting even if it will be hard.

Devon

Well, before I actually got here, I bragged about the strength of the journalism program to which I had just applied. I still do, sometimes. But now, I mostly brag about the friends I've made, and the neighborhood I get to live in. I brag about The Village Voice being located like three blocks away, and I brag about my school taking me on a trip to Florence. So I brag a lot, apparently.

Ahmad

The area in which NYU is in is sorrounded by so many well-known celebrities and other famous people. There are also so many movies filmed around the area which make makes it a really attractive school. These two facts is something that I love to tell to friends and family.

Daniella

Being able to attend college in the heart of New York City is what I brag most about to my friends. I am surrounded by a different city culture that enhances my education. The professors call upon aspects of the city and incorporate into my education experience. I have gone to the Met to complete a class assignment. Everything is at my fingertips. I am never more than a 5 minute walk from anything I need. There is a reason why New York City is called one of the greatest cities in the world.

Karla

Being a resident of one of the world's greatest city, New York City, is definitely a part of my school I would brag about most. The fact that New York University has the city as its campus draws me to it instantly. I get to walk around in the city, explore parts of the city that I may not have been able to if I was in a school with a gated campus. I love that I vibe that New York University creates with the city as its playground.

Suzanne

Bragging is definitely an overstatement with regard to New York University. Though someimes I can almost cut my friends' jealousy with a knife, I wouldn't say that there has been a time that I've felt a need to brag about NYU-- its reputation precedes it. Since coming here I've found that most people consider NYU's location to be unparalelled by most other schools. Attending a school "in and of the city" offers a student opportunities for countless jobs and internships and venues for exploring new interests. The challenge is making time to get out there.

Elizabeth

When I tell my friends about my school, I brag most about all of the motivated students and distinguished faculty I get to work with. Everyone at NYU truly wants to be there to learn and to expand their knowledge base. All the students know how to work hard while being able to let loose on the weekends. Students are also very open, always friendly and ready to make new friends. There is a multitude of student groups and activities on campus. Meanwhile, the fuculty loves their jobs and truly wants to impart their knowledge to students.

Shemise

Friends are always envious whenever I mention having met or seen a famous actor, singer, or director traveling along the streets of New York City. Many well know professionals within the entertainment industry dwell, shop and perform within Greenwich Village and those whom are alumni of the school are also invited to give lectures and teach classes to NYU students. This provides great opportunities to meet and network with successful individuals within prospective career fields.

Phillip

Most universites have a set campus, with the perimeter fenced in, Ivy growing on the building, and a "green" or central grassy area where students gather but at NYU we dont have that . Students walk out of the buildings and are smacked in the face by New York City. We're not separated from the rest of the world, we're a apart of it which in my opinon help students adjust to what the real world is like. How many students can say their dorm is on 5th avenue and they walk down Broadway to class?

Justin

Our facilities and Stern's prestige.

Our school has their own version of a debit card which is in the form of our ID cards. Our library is huge and always accessible, and all our dorm rooms have their own bathrooms instead of the corridor-style.
