Be different. NYU is all about diversity. Everyone you meet here is fascinating in their own way. The things you can look forward to here is bragging rights you live in one of the world's greatest cities there's basically no resource or industry not a your fingertips. Internships are everywhere if you take the chance to look and in my first year alone I've met some of my idols: film directors, DJs, musicians etc. Also a lot of kids at NYU have their heart set on what they want to do.

    NYU is unlike any other place in the world. Not only have I learned everything I could desire and more, but I have been given every opportunity possible based on the connections I have made through school, NYU programs, as well through other students, and my teachers. It also helps that NYU is in the most amazing city in the world, New York.

    The campus is next to a park, barnes and nobles, pizza store, theater, handball alley quite convenient! The people there are friendly, although there are some typical new yorkers who wont be. The facilities are clean, organized and very nice! Food and resources at the nearest corner!

    Attending New York University is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Not only is the education outstanding, but living in this city, this capitol of the world, has opened my eyes to just how attainable my dreams are. NYU is well-connected as a global university, and I can't wait to continue expanding my horizons as a film major not only here in the Big Apple but also around the world.

    New York University is an incredible school. While their financial aid is difficult to come by, the trade-off is their investment in excellent programs and opportunities for students. I never really had a dream school, but attending NYU is like living a dream.

    NYU is great for networking and setting your self up for the future. Also, if you study abroad it is one of the best experiences possible! Yet making friends and finding a community can be hard.

    NYU is a busy place to be. There is literally a niche for everyone, but you have to go out and get involved; otherwise you might feel lonely and overwhelmed. The classes are great, but you are also paying for the name.
