Too many people and not enough communication

Alex

Tisch students are quirky and a little loony. Stern students are snobby, stuck up, far too competitive, stand-offish, and uptight. CAS students are "normal". Steinhardt...no one knows much about them. LSP students are stupid. The rest don't really matter.

Jordan

Snobby, Independent, Overly career oriented, "liberal"

Thomas

It really varies per school. CAS is generally labeled as emo/screamo kids from New Jersey. Tisch is considered to be mostly hipsters. Stern has it's asians. Gallatin kids are wealthy and lack direction. Steinhardt is pretty across the board. There's also the School of Social Work and the School of Continuing and Professional Studies, but honestly I don't really know anyone there. On a more broad scope, the student body is often classified as such: rich, gay, Jewish, from the Tri-State area, snobby, hipster-ish, unsociable.

That they're pretentious, a former child star, gay, hipsters and wealthy

Rich kids from the 'burbs. Girls who get up early to straighten their hair for class. Hipsters. Kids who take up smoking their second week of college because it's cool.

Since the school is so expensive a common stereotype seems to be that NYU students are rich. Another seems to be that NYU students are pretentious.

MJ

We're all either super-rich and snobby or hipsters who don't shower.

Emily

That there are a lot of hipsters, quirky, cool kids. That there is a ton of diversity, everyone is an individual. That NYU doesn't have a campus, that people aren't friendly. That NYU kids are super rich and super smart. That going to NYU is like the golden key to any door, that you will be set for life.
