NYU is not your traditional university with miles of green acreage and beautifully manicured pathways connecting academic buildings. This university basically surrounds Washington Square, a small park filled with eclectic personalities, which acts as the school's common area, while the university itself spreads out in a 2 block radius in each direction around that same park. Given its compact size, the university has tons of people passing through, most of which are a mix between students, tourists, and locals. In a city of over 20 million people, that can be exciting or intimidating, depending upon your temperament. The school itself has around 28,000 enrolled students. If you like the excitement of a big city married to the concept of a college campus, NYU is your vibe. We toured here, and my daughter loved it. I thought it strange that we didn't get to see any classrooms, dining facilities, or living quarters on the tour, and I think this would have enhanced our overall experience. This is one of the only college tours we've been on that left out all three. There is a lot of emphasis on academics and research opportunities for students. NYU stands as the premiere educational institution in New York City next to Columbia.
As an international PhD student, the greatest strength of NYU is its radical and non-traditional academic approach (even compared to other renown universities in the US) as well as its amazing location which allows you to absorb the world’s most culturally sophisticated and diverse urban vibe, ultimately inspiring your future study.
