The best thing about my school is the location. Being on a college campus in the belly of Manhattan really builds my experience. I am forced to make more adult decisions about money, safety and my personal wellbeing. I am exposed to countless cultures, which expands my tolerance and knowledge of others. Being from a small town, I can personally appreciate the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple.

Because New York University has such a great reputation and many successful alumni, there is always something, such as a master class, being offered. It is incredible to be in the company of such luminary students that have preceded me, and they always serve as inspiration. In addition, being in the city provides an incredible opportunity to further my education. As an arts major, I am surrounded by art in the city, This serves to educate and inspire me. This occurrence wouldn?t be possible if I wasn?t at NYU, which is at the heart of it all.

I consider the location and the lack of a campus to be the best aspects of my school. I have New York City in my backyard, allowing for many opportunites to explore new places. By seeing Broadway plays, visiting museums, and noticing the diversity of people here, I feel that I have grown culturally. Similarly, I have grown by the fact that the school has no campus, as this makes one feel as if he is already living on his own. Since there are no physical boundaries to the university, one must be active in order to meet new people.

The best thing about NYU is its location. NYU's is mostly concentrated in Greenwich Village in Manhattan. This location allows students to take advantage of all of NYC's offerings. This location provides wasy access to subway lines that will take you to museums, 5th Avenue, Times Square, and other major sights to see in NYC. However, this location in the heart of Manhattan can be distracting for students who decide to do out more than study, but if you are great with moderation, living in Manhattan is a great opportunity for not only fun but jobs.

I love many of the professors that teach here - they are well known experts in their field, some of them even happen to be good teachers on top of that. I love the wide variety of resources available to students - the library is amazing, for instance, and countless extra-curricular activities and advisement opportunities are offered. On top of that, the location could not be better.

The best thing about my school is that you're never alone. You can always make a new friend whether it's on the bus or in class. The people here are friendly and are willing to talk to you.
Derek
The location because there are so many oppurtunities and things to do. New York city is a cultural haven

The best thing about NYU is that it has everything that you could possibly want, but only if you look for it. If you want sports, greek life, a strong community, you can find it. There are many clubs and extra curricular activities so everyone is able to find exactly what they're looking for.

The best thing about NYU is the lack of a real campus. The university is literally immersed in the city, giving students the opportunity to explore the culturally enriching community that New York City has to offer. Although there is not a traditional campus, students can feel safe walking around the city since the school offers excellent security through safety haven signs posted on restaurants and stores throughout the city as well as safety shuttle transportation and a large crew of security guards.

Its location certainly stands out-- New York City is such a culturally diverse and historic place! You have access to thousands of opportunities, whether they be for entertainment or education. There are plenty of museums, landmarks, parks,theaters, internships, crazy clubs, parties, concerts, restaurants, clothing stores, and anything else you could ever possibly want within walking distance. It's awesome.

Location = Greenwich Village = Awesome!
Emellie
The city! Going to school in the city is an experience like no other. You meet the most interesting people and can encounter some great opportunities. It really teaches you to be a successful and independent individual.

The amount of opportunities available to those who look for them. This school is perfectly placed for students who are willing to do the leg work to get what they want out of the city.
Sahaiya
The variety - whether you're looking for something academic, extra-curricular, in the surrounding city, in the students, or in the faculty, you will most likely find it. If you have a go-getter attitude you can pretty much create any or as much opportunities as you want for yourself.
Monique
The best thing is the campus.
Yidan
The school gives students access to all the best parts of New York City, the culture, night life, and other cosmopolitan aspects of living in NYC. Students are exposed to real life through the internship and work opportunities in the city and living in off-campus apartments.
Annie
The diversity and the opportunities it offeres.

I went to the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at NYU, and the best thing about Gallatin that set it apart from the rest of NYU was the staff. Unlike my experience with other NYU colleges, Gallatin faculty really cared about your education. Advisors were dedicated to their advisees and teachers made themselves readily available. Classes were small and students were often able to control where the discussion went. Faculty is open to criticism and advice in how the class is run.
