I love and at the same time dislike that NYU is located all over the city because it creates distances between students. Since there is no "real" campus there is an inevitable lack of school spirit and closeness between peers. Although clubs, sports teams, leadership activities, etc exist I feel like students would be more united if we lived our college years in a more traditional campus.

The tuition. It's a shame that a school that prides itself on it's diversiity and open-mindedness can only really be attended by a small amount of people that can realistically pay for it. I love my education there, and the classes and professors are engaging and thought provoking, however the economic strain is the cause for incredible stress on me and my family. Istead of studying, I tend to be looking for scholarships or finding ways to get money just so I can secure another year at this school.

New York University is a wonderful school that offers many oppurtunities to anyone who is fortunate enough to attend the school. The only difficulty with the school is the lacking in financial aid. Students from families with less that $30000 annual income have great difficulty attending the school. This school has an amazing reputation and provides a fantastic education. I just wish I could recieve more aid.

The unbelievably high tuition and lack of financial aid. The price of the school is going up and yet the amount of financial aid isn't. Also what I heard and read about the school on the school's website was misleading and false. I thought I could study abroad in any NYU location for the program I'm in but I found out I could only go to six.

Its huge, so its easy to feel like you are being ignored. Its also hard to get things done if you have a special situation and need rules changed.

The worst thing about my school is that it is very expensive. It cost me about $9,000 per semester as a part time student.

I consider the high tuition to be the worst thing about my school. Coming from a family that has never been well-off, it makes it very difficult to attain the kind of education that New York University can offer. I don't think money should play a role in the quality of an education.

The worst thing about my school is that there is no college campus. This can be looked as both a good and bad thing. On the downside, you won't see pep rallies , and the college life is nothing like it is in the movies. Fraternity row and team colors are not as represented at NYU. Many look at Washington Square Park as our campus because it is located in the center of all the buildings for the University. The positive aspect is instead of having a regular campus, you can look at the entire city as your campus.

If I had to pick one worst thing about my school it would have to be the high tuition costs. The cost of tuition at New York University is a persistent concern for me and my family. While I believe that the education at NYU is worth the cost, it is still a lofty price to pay for the average middle-class family. If NYU was able to lower its tuition or provide more financial aid options to its students, I know it would be greatly appreciated.

The lack of a traditional campus makes the school feel disjointed at times.
