Student review [#39524] for Economics
at New York University - NYU

Overall, NYU is a great school as long as you’re comfortable with a non-traditional college experience and are motivated. The academics and connections you make are fantastic. You’ll be able to have fun, but it’s definitely easier to do if you have the money since you’re in Manhattan (learn how to use the subway). The area is quite safe as long as you keep your wits about you and stick in groups. Students always try to collaborate on difficult tasks and learn from each other, especially in learning groups and in learning outside the classroom. While it is true that there are many privileged students, there are many smart and insightful people on campus to learn from. The best school ever! It was my dream school and it exceeded all possible expectations. The academics are exceptional and cannot be compared to any other school.
