Hey, I go to NYU and I love it!!! The one thing to keep in mind is that it is very different from most colleges because first, it's in NYC which is like no other place, and second, we don't have a campus in the traditional sense...the city is our campus! You have the opportunity to meet people from very different life experiences and backgrounds. The one thing I would say is that you do need to put in more of an effort to socialize because everyone is so independent here. But I had no problem making close friends, and there's ALWAYS something to do! Where else can you decide at 3 A.M. that you want Indian food, have it delivered, and then walk a busy street to Union Square park and chat?
