New York University Top Questions

Rich white liberal artsy kids. This can be accurate depending on what group you're hanging out with but there is a lot of diversity in background and interests at the school, in part because it's such a large school so I don't think it's 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} accurate if you chose to hang out with the right people.

The stereotype of students at NYU is that they are all hipsters. There definitely are some people at NYU that are complete hipsters, wearing purple pants, socks with cat designs that go over their pants, a vest and a baret. They wear this crazy outfit as they smoke a cigarette outside of Tisch. However, there are THOUSANDS of people at NYU who are not like this. There's plenty of diversity. Everyone has their own style. Tons of people from California and the tri-state area.

It's very hard for me to stereotype the entire school since we are a very tight-knit group at ITP-Tisch, therefore I know very little outside of Tisch. Tisch however, is a complete hipster factory.

There are many stereotypes at NYU as there are at most universities. The difference with NYU is that there is no official campus as there is for instance in Binghampton or BU. That being said, having all of New York City as your "campus" makes it hard for any stereotype to be accurate since you are living among New Yorkers, tourists and so on. The only stereotype that I can say is somewhat true is that the female to male ratio is not in proportion and that there are definitely a lot more females than males at NYU. There is also a large homosexual community at NYU which I would say is common among most city schools.

Because NYU is so large and diverse, there are many many stereotypes, especially within each individual school. For example, Sternies are robots, Gallatin kids are lazy, Tisch kids are theatre geeks, and LSP kids didn't even really get into NYU. All that aside, I think that the major stereotype that NYU students get from people outside of our greenwich village bubble is that we're all hipsters. To some extent, this is true. I'm not saying that we all wear skinny jeans, army jackets, beanies, and desert boots (and we definitely shower more than once a week!). However, at NYU you do learn to appreciate subcultures a lot more than you probably did in high school. You get to be exposed to new opinions, ideas, music scenes, and food. In that sense we are hipsters... and we may or may not all have a chip on our shoulders!

Lots of hipsters. So many hipsters.
