    Junior: I'm currently a rising junior and I can't express how much I love this school! NYU is definitely not where you'll find the typical college experience. You are mostly on your own after freshman year, but I find that most of the students here prefer it that way; it gives us a sense of independence that other colleges don't offer. Classes are quite difficult but they are manageable if you apply yourself! I've unfortunately had to be sent home last semester because of COVID-19, but the professors were very understanding while we were taking online classes, which only supports the fact that the professors at NYU are excellent. The location of the school is amazing and the dorms are probably better than most other colleges in the country, and the dining halls are pretty good too!

    Junior: I LOVE this school! Couldn't be happier with my choice to come here. The students are incredible - everyone is interested in such a wide range of subjects and activities and they're all so passionate about what they're doing! I have friends who are chem majors who also star in plays, film majors who are also varsity athletes, bio majors who are in mock trial, etc. Everyone feels free to be themselves and do what they love and it's such an awesome environment to be a part of.
