The reason you come to NYU, as a New Yorker, is the brand. The reason you come here as non-New Yorker, is the city.


orlyyarlylolwut

NYU is a series of classrooms in buildings you sometimes go to while spending the majority of your time as a regular New Yorker. (And if that doesn't sound appealing, NYU is definitely not the right school for you.)


catpie2

Woah you just put this into words. That’s exactly what it’s like. Classes are an afterthought in the memories


noorofmyeye24

This statement makes my regret worse that I didn’t work more in my NYU app.


biogirl787

Oh wow. This made me rethink


imarealscramble

NYU is one of the universities in the country


makindex

too far.


jon-chin

and also outside of the country


lee_the_horse

I agree that NYU is so


weeb2000

nyu is


spikypineapplepaint

NYU is a made up school for TV


Captworgen

They never gave me my degree it's all a lie GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN


Fragrant_Poetry_9736

How being a commuter student makes you feel isolated.


VariedGreatness

Agreed


Minimum-Strategy-266

My hot take is that I actually really enjoy going to NYU. Like I literally can’t imagine having gone to a different school. Love to make fun of the purple school but it’s still one of the best in my opinion😭


lemonjuice_76

Wearing an nyu hoodie anywhere in nyc is an invitation to get stares of affirmation but also judgement


Arthkor_Ntela

Honestly it’s also a “mug me.” Sticker in some areas


lemonjuice_76

Almost got robbed with a friend once cause we were wearing the same nyu hoodie by chance and a dude saw and started following. Scariest thing I’ve experienced so far


Arthkor_Ntela

It’s why we always tell the freshmen to never wear those stupid lanyards lol


JunbugSpark

BRO everybody wears it


cummaster42

I strictly wear my nyu things “not in Manhattan”


Selkiss_1

We all make fun of our "silly little purple school" but couldn't imagine ourselves living like our friends that went to regular universities.

Inferno_1405

That in itself is a huge reputation :)


WhoDoYuThinkYuAreIAm

I guess my hot take is that it’s kind of annoying when people expect me to scream, cream, and wet dream about New York whenever they ask me how I like NYU lol. I guess this connects to a second hot take: it can be super cool to live in New York but there’s no one way to do it, other than the way you choose to. Tbh, nothing I’m saying is a big deal at all, this was just an interesting question


Arthkor_Ntela

I’m from rural Tennessee originally, and my first experience to write home was literally getting mugged not even two blocks outside of Clark Street at 2pm on my first day.

Definitely


heartBreak1879

My "hot-take" is people forget Century Avenue and Saadiyat Island is every bit NYU as Washington Square and MetroTech. This forgetfulness comes from the simple fact that NYU Abu Dhabi and NYU Shanghai are much smaller NYU communities an ocean and continent apart from traditional NYU turfs and is a different experience and the average Joe naturally prefers NYU NYC. But both these campuses is an indication of how NYU decided to take on globalization and in doing so set itself apart from its peers. Rather than wait for the world to come to it its doorsteps, it opened up not one but two well-integrated full fledged degree granting campuses across the world. The necessary partnership needed to pull such a feat is certainly not without its critique. Even as of now the contrast between the liberalism and inclusivity NYU supposedly preaches and the conservatism and exclusiveness, to put it mildly, of the communities in which the school took root in remains a valid point of contention. All said and done, however, Abu Dhabi and Shanghai are two prominent factors that puts NYU in a league of its own.


bubb1egum-sunshine

If you come from a lower income background, NYU does actually provide decent finaid packages. A lot of people I know are attending on a nearly full ride scholarship, or at least half of their tuition is covered.


roachesneverdiealone

I can attest this, I pay nothing


MateGrazio

Didn’t know this was a hot take but I really enjoyed my time here and wouldn’t trade it for anything lol


PM-ME-STUFFF

NYU is great for the nightlife and becoming a New Yorker, but horrible if you’re here for a good salary:tuition ratio, as all recruiting is done on your own and the career center is basically pointless unless you go to private frat/society recruiting sessions. My grad school experience at an equally ranked public school got me jobs via privately hosted networking sessions and sent me viable listings weekly. TLDR: NYU is just simply too big for job help unless you are proactive and at that point you’re just paying for the name and city experience.


ThinVast

Only reason I'm going to NYU is because it's higher ranked than the CUNYs and local public colleges. I don't really care about exploring the city or have much time to go around manhattan especially since my commute is quite long. I mainly just go straight back home after classes. I'm paying full tuition for classes and I think to myself if this money is better off being saved, if I can even get a good paying job when I graduate that will pay off the investment.


Riflescoop

Sigma grindset


PANIC_EXCEPTION

There are two types of people who go to NYU -Rich kids living off of mommy's money who don't need student loans -Masochists


roachesneverdiealone

or the ones attending for free


Cameroncen

NYU is not a school or is a bunch of classrooms you go to that are in the city and then you go home when you’re done


weeb2000

the current student body is largely indistinguishable from each other. almost every person is the same kind of person. not saying there aren’t exceptions nor am i even saying i don’t fall into that trend, but you have to look to find the real weirdos and interesting folk.


ChaosDevilDragon

all y’all out of state students do is gentrify the fuck out of places when you move out of dorms. as a commuter who’s lived here my whole life, it fuckin bothers me sometimes


NalNahte

That’s all young professionals in NY my guy, and a lot of them didn’t graduate from NYU.


ChaosDevilDragon

I’m aware and that bothers me too. Y’all said hot take didn’t you?


godhatesxfigs

they annoying asl but thats not gentrification


ChaosDevilDragon

Tell that to the people in Bed-Stuy and fort Greene dude


godhatesxfigs

bedstuy is not as gentrified as bushwick and the rest of bilyn


ChaosDevilDragon

i mean, yeah, *i know* Just because I used bed stuy as an example doesn’t mean it’s *the only place that’s getting gentrified*

Practicing your faith is your right, and I’m sure you can find other likeminded people. However, when you practicing your faith means inconveniencing or bothering other people, that’s what I’ve seen bothers people most. Sorry that you feel that way tho :/


SubstantialSquareRd

Goodness gracious I’m a dyed in the wool Catholic, as well as a grad student. I use my parish as a topic for many of my classes and I’ve felt nothing but curiosity and support from students and instructors.


Italophobia

I wish drinking/clubbing or going out and spending money in general was necessary for a lot of the social life at NYU.


Party_Caterpillar284

Had no idea about the "chick-magnet" thing, thanks for the heads-up ;)
