This is the dream school for the strong willed and independent. Everyone knows NYU as a great college, but it is entirely opposite of the traditional college atmosphere. Say no to college athletics and wave goodbye to the Greek system. They can boast about fabulous lectures but students are mainly on their own to find things to do. Thankfully in one of the hottest parts of New York City there are more than a million exciting options within walking distance. Just keep track of your cash flow because money goes quickly here.
The Prudent Student (October 7, 2009)
New York University is one of the elite universities in the United State. Kids dream of graduating from this prestigious school and parents couldn't be any prouder then when their son or daughter receives the acceptance letter. However, more and more students are questioning whether they can afford to attend this nationally ranked university with the current economic crisis. Not only are kids questioning whether they can accept their acceptance to NYU, students currently enrolled at the school are finding themselves with the tough decision of having to leave the school because of the high tuition prices.
"It is very disheartening that after years of hard work, everything you earned could be taken away from you," said Carlos Nicasio, a junior in the College of Nursing at NYU. "You still have to take into account the price that comes with a good education."
Freshman Patrick Barragan had to take a leave of absence last spring because he and his family could not afford the costs associated with attending the school. He was convinced by his entire family that it would be best for him to come home and attend a community school. The tough economy is now forcing this country's top scholars and forcing them to attend a school that is below their academic standards.
Many students are coming to the school's advising center to figure out a financial plan that will allow them to stay enrolled at the school. A lot of kids are now commuting because the additional cost of housing is too much. If the economy doesn't start to shape up soon NYU as well as many other prestigious schools with high tuition costs will start to see a severe decline in enrollment numbers.

Despite the lacking campus, being right in the heart of New York City's best nightlife is second to nothing.

There's no better place than NYC. I couldn't ask for a place with more to do whether its clubs and bars at night, shopping in the day, or seeing all of the sights around the city.

The city is extremely expensive. It's definitely more expensive to live in NYC

The dorms are really nice. I stayed there in the summer and some of the dorm rooms have kitchens in them and multiple rooms.
