"Everybody says, I love you, I hate you: what students say about NYU."

Ever since we launched the "College Guide" section, there have been a steady stream of requests from students or enthusiastic readers to add content about the academic culture of American universities or campus culture. "Let's talk a little more!" We want to hear it! Their enthusiasm made our teachers consider introducing American universities from a more diverse perspective, and a new column was born, which was Sunday's "Everybody Says." This column is divided into two parts, one is to pick up different application forums, such as College Confidential, Unigo and other websites of the typical evaluation of the school by students, and the other is the AADPS students' online interviews with their seniors. This content will be more vivid than the content of the school's official website, the university ranking agency, and Wikipedia, and it will help our students and parents see a more authentic university.

The first is about the evaluation of New York University by current students, a private university in downtown Manhattan that has always been the dream lover of many students. But underneath the bright downtown culture, what does it mean to study at NYU? Can you get what you want to learn? What is inconvenient or unsatisfactory? Students at Unigo, Confidential, and Student Review gave a variety of different kinds of feedback. We have excerpted a few of the more representative answers to share with you. After you also want to see what aspects of NYU feedback, you can send it to us through the APP or WeChat public account, we will look for relevant information, and the interview with the senior sister of NYU will also be online in the spring, so stay tuned.

<h2>I love you</h2>

Regarding the positive evaluation of NYU, which is still mainstream on the websites of these application exchanges, let's take a look at what these students have to say:

Leaving home for NYU was a big challenge for me, but it also broadened my worldview. I've met countless people who are completely different from me and experienced things I never thought I would have the opportunity to experience. Academically, I study diligently; outside of academics, I actively participate in work, internships and extracurricular activities. But one of the most unique things I've experienced is life in New York City (NYC). Watch various performances, attend concerts, visit various museums, attend poetry readings, and even occasionally party with celebrities. The possibilities that New York offers you are limitless. It gave me the opportunity to learn about the real world beyond the world I had previously known. In addition, the group of friends around me who are enthusiastic about their interests have also inspired me. I have learned a lot from the people around me, and it has also made me a more diverse and loving version of myself. But I also had a lot of difficulties while I was in school at NYU, being away from family and friends, adjusting to a completely different new life, overcoming the horror of roommate experiences, etc.; but all of this made me step by step who I wanted to be. What you learn in the classroom is important, but what you learn from your entire college experience is invaluable. Sophomore Anna, Unigo

Suitable for NYU students are those who want to study in a big, multicultural environment. Suitable for students who like and enjoy the noisy, chaotic, crowded city streets, rows of shopping malls, busy and fast-paced city life in the heart of the big city. Suitable for those who are judgmental, able to screen, and take advantage of opportunities. The right people for NYU are students who have a clear understanding of themselves, for students who love to participate in activities but have self-discipline. Freshman anonymous, Unigo

If you are brave, curious, and open to new ideas and experiences, then you should come to NYU. Bravery is very important because you are about to live in one of the most important cities in the world. You must be brave enough to express your opinion, or you will be pushed aside. In New York, you'll be exposed to experiencing something new every day, and if that's something you like, then you'll love the school. At the same time, curiosity is also very necessary. At NYU, you have to be curious and inquisitive, and learn to define all people and things yourself, rather than passively accepting other people's ideas. Freshman Melissa, Unigo

Yes, I love NYU. Of course, there are also some people who don't love it that much. NYU is only suitable for a specific group of people, and the most suitable adjective used to describe such people is probably independence. It has to be true independence – the word has been abused so much that many people like to describe themselves as such people. You have to learn not to be homesick and be able to adapt to sometimes "cold" environments. Imagine getting up every morning to the screech of a fire truck, greeted not by the chirping of birds, and then you're walking down the icy sidewalk instead of the freshly cut grass, hurrying to your eight-o'clock class. Also, you have to find your place, this is not a high school, in high school there will always be someone telling you what to do. Try visiting clubs during freshman visits and finding a club that suits you, and everyone does so so they can make friends. After the first few weeks, if you can overcome these suit difficulties, you may fall in love with NYU. I know some people who, because they couldn't fit in the first few weeks, left at the end of their first semester. Also, here's another tip: make sure what you're learning is worth the tuition. It is a milder description to describe those who complain about NYU fees incessantly, and many people have transferred because of tuition fees. If you can't afford NYU's tuition fees, make sure you have other school options. Pre-medical science, finance in business school, drama in the school of arts, and many other majors are worth the price, but some majors, such as primary education, then you have to think twice. New York Is Really Great. Living in New York City felt very positive and didn't need much explanation, you know. But you must understand where the pitfalls lie. IHeartNY08，College Confidential

<h2>I hate you</h2>

People may mind negative reviews more than positive reviews. Judging from the information we have selected, the negative evaluation is mainly concentrated in these parts: campus environment, tuition fees, and coursework. Some of this is related to the personal needs of students, and some are the inevitable consequences of the environment of NYU, and you can weigh these drawbacks well.

I think the biggest disadvantage of our school is that there is no college campus. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. On the bad side, when you come to NYU, you don't have a chance to see the pre-game mobilization meeting. And college life is completely different from what you see in movies. At NYU, the Fraternity, and the team colors aren't all that prominent. Many people can only think of Washington Square Park as NYU's campus because it sits in the heart of all the university buildings. On the positive side, although there is no NYU campus and no garden, you can use the whole city as your campus. Indira, freshman, Unigo

The biggest drawback of NYU is its high tuition fees. And unfortunately, its excellent location also makes everything extremely expensive. So students quickly went beyond their budgets. Scholarships at NYU are fiercely competitive and rare. If you really want a scholarship and try very hard, you may be able to get a scholarship, but you have to be prepared to fight, after all, there is no pie falling from the sky. Bursaries are very difficult, but it must also be considered that as a private university, the school will have a much larger budget on financial aid than a public university. Gabriel, freshman, Unigo

Let's make things clear, the following points are ranked in no particular order: First, the university's ranking is overrated, the tuition fee is too expensive, and it is as simple as that. The quality of teaching is not very good, although it seems to have actually learned something, but it is just that the professor has assigned too much homework, you don't know why you have to do so much, only know that you have to do the homework to die, so the rate of suspension and transfer is also very high. What you learn at Stern Business School isn't worth the high tuition, everyone is not very happy in this school, half of the students are dressed as if they are about to go to a job interview, and only a very few will help you. You will spend more nights in the library than in your own bedroom, and then your bed will gradually become a place where you pile up books, and you will not sleep on it anyway. So from my observation, the students of the Tisch Academy of Arts seem to be the ones who are really happy. Anonymous student, Stern Business School undergraduate, Student Review

What do you want to say about NYU's love and hate? We look forward to your feedback, both for students in school and for students who have already graduated. If you have any expectations and suggestions for this new column, you can also put forward with us.
