New York University Review Summary

Want to attend school in one of the greatest cities in the world? If so, then you might like New York University. This urban university is located in the heart of New York City and reviews often mention the solid reputation of New York University as one of the key reasons to attend. With a solid level of prestige, however, comes a high price tag and not only is New York University expensive to attend, the cost of living in New York City is very high as well. If you want a solid university but feel New York University is too expensive and want to explore alternatives, be sure to check out Other Graduate Schools

I'm a freshman at UCLA and already considering great graduate schools that will enable to become successful. When I applied to be an undergraduate, naturally, i applied to NYU. However, i was sadly rejected and hope that next time for graduate i am not. New York is huge and expensive, but I believe New... review »

My daughter started a graduate program five years ago at New York University. She was given subsidized housing her first year through a grant. She still had to pay $800 a month rent. The program I am referring to is the Ph.D. program in Sociology. Like many programs she was given free tuition in exchange...

New York University is a very expensive school. I really don't think there is any reason to pay the money for it unless you come for a degree from Tisch or are in the law school. NYU's academic programs are okay, but not worth the price tag. You can get the same or better service elsewhere in New York City.  It is a fun place to be though, and if you don't care about money and/or have a lot of it, you'll fit right in with the prissy rich kids who attend.

NYU takes place in the center of it all - New York City. That gives you a lot of opportunities that you won't have at other schools, such as access to great speakers, conferences and events. In part because of this, NYU has a great reputation that has noticeably improved over the last several years. However, be prepared to pay for these opportunities as NYU certainly is not cheap. Moreover, student support services, particularly IT is notably lacking and you might be frustrated by how "un-automated" seemingly routine functions are. If you're planning on going into a specialized field that NYU... review »

Attending NYU is an experience that would teach you to not only work hard for your grade, think critically but a university that is set on the most perfect location. It is located in NYC, one of the wealthiest, busiest and the best social networking city you can live in. Opportunities here are great and finding a job to an intern has been the most sufficient and easiest thing for many NYU students, because it is in t he city where they are opportunities for majority of all the people.

While I was glad for the free toilet paper that university housing gave us poor souls who couldn't afford to buy our own, I thought we deserved at least 2-ply stuff for the tuition we paid. Oh, and free beads during mardi gras in the student center. Woohoo!

The one good thing, though, was that my department chair recommended me for an internship at a publishing company that eventually gave me a scholarship. So I did feel that someone in NYU went out of their way for me.

NYU is a very good school.  It is constantly improving.  And it's located in a great city, with plenty of sources of entertainment and inspiration.  Nevertheless, it costs way to much to attend.  For most people, I believe that all of the benefits I mentioned above are not worth the high cost of tuition and housing.  You can get a good liberal arts education at many other schools, including state schools.  Aside from its prime location in Manhattan, NYU is not special. 

 I have benefited immensely from the school's career center, which is well connected with the business community in New...
