Who Thrives at NYU?
NYU doesn't have a traditional campus - it is Manhattan, and Manhattan is the curriculum. Students here don't go to parties in dorms; they go to gallery openings in Chelsea and networking events on Wall Street. This is ideal for international students who want to immerse in a global city immediately, but it can feel disorienting for those who expect the contained, community-feel of a traditional campus. NYU Stern is one of the most respected finance schools in the world, and Tisch is a top-tier arts conservatory. If your goal is finance, media, or the arts, NYU's location and industry access are impossible to replicate elsewhere.
