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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
