New York University Top Questions

It is quite expensive to attend full time, with its undergraduate degree considered one of the most expensive in the country. I found financing college to be more of a stressor at times than my actual classwork, so I would recommend that prospective students honestly assess how much of it they (or their parents) can pay for and how much debt they are willing to potentially take on.

We don't exactly have a campus of our own because we are in NYC but everything is very convenient.

The worst thing about my school is the lack of community, because one can easily feel isolated and alone here. It's all about learning to be content with yourself, but that's not exactly easy for everyone. I think that's why a lot of students don't like studying here.

Non-traditional, big-city campus (may be a positive for some), NYC is a very expensive place to live, very expensive university as well

I would have to say that the worst thing about my school is probably its knack for putting business before education, and money before the well-being/interest of students & faculty.

The worst thing about my school is the lack of community. My college does not rally around sports teams, have school spirit, or even have a central place to hang out. Incomming and current students are left to find their own place which at times can be very daunting, especially in such a big city.

One downside of going to school in the city is we don't exactly get the typical "campus" feel. The buildings are very spread out, and NYU doesn't have much of a closed off, campus-only area like most schools. This can make you feel isolated from other students at times.

The tuition to attend New York University is enormous. If a student attends without any financial aid or scholarships, he or she can find themselves paying around $43,000 in tuition costs. If a student wants to room in one of the on-campus dorms, he or she might have to pay an additional $18,000. The cost of attending my school adds an immense amount of pressure for students to achieve high GPAs and succeed in all their classes so that their education could be worth the money.
