    Aka why living in nyc is hard. I’ve been a New Yorker my entire life and i was shocked that young adults/kids are just expected to know how to navigate the streets and subways of ny. That seems very unreasonable to me for those coming outside of New York. But im pretty sure most of the problems they discussed are typical tourists (and residents) in NY problems. Its doesnt have to do with NYU themselves but instead NYC. Its called the concrete jungle for a reason.

    i will say don't come to nyu if your parents can't afford to still pay for your lifestyle at school. 1. everyone here is rich and to make friends, you need participate in their hobbies which are always a bit expensive. 2. they were right about how crazy busy it is and how you need to stay on top of internships and research opportunities. classes combined with that makes it next to impossible to get a job.
    that guy was also right about people being a little closed minded here. but most of the other complaints people had were stupid because they should have known those things before they applied and decided to accept admission. most people come to nyu because they don't want a regular college experience. nyu literally markets itself as not being the normal college experience.
    while i wouldn't rave about nyu, it's definitely not as bad as they make it seem. there really are amazing opportunities everywhere and living in nyc itself is an amazing experience. if you're not an independent, nyu definitely isn't the right place for you.
    my final piece of advice is that you need to be a self-assured, confident, and adaptable person to succeed at nyu. any advice anyone has ever given you about nyc in general, apply it to nyu also. you're not just signing up for nyu, you're signing up for new york city.
    and no offense but it looks like the people you guys chose to interview were unaware of the criteria.

For college I’ll mostly pick one with a football team because right now I feel like I’m losing part of a typical school experience that defines so many people

    Hi,
    Thanks a lot for the video. Being admitted to NYU is a dream come true for me.
    I am an admitted post graduate student of Silver School. With scholarship worth $10,500. That is $21,000 for the 2yrs.
    Attending my dream graduate school is proving an uphill challenge for me...as an international student from sub-Saharan Africa It's being a real struggle trying to complete the remaining balance of my tuition. Due to this financial constraints, I had the offer differed for a year, that is I was supposed to start fall 2022 but had to differ till fall 2023. I recently realized this is completely beyond me and my family.
    Please, I would appreciate any assistance you can provide in regards to more scholarships, persons I can contact. It's really scary seeing fall 2023 draw near.
    Any suggestion will really be appreciated.

    NYU bathrooms stank, value for quality of dorms/on campus experience is not good, bad vending machine snacks and dining hall food which is also too expensive although they have a share meals program which is nice, the central air system is bipolar and wants to be too cold in the winter and too hot or even also too cold in the summer. And it's too expensive for any regular person. If loans or crowdfunding didn't exist, most people would not go here.

  • @kingbibihabibi
    @kingbibihabibi 5 років тому +130

    tbh NYU is really overrated and not worth it unless you're going to Stern. With the high tuition, high living costs, and terrible financial aid, you're taking out over $300k for a B.A. That's absurd. The education is good but nothing you couldn't get for less at a state flagship, and you can see a lot of the students are unhappy with the lack of campus spirit and community. I think NYU preys a bit upon naive 17-year-olds who have a dream of moving from their small town to New York and making it big there, without making it clear the loan payment they'll be shackling themselves to for decades after.

    • @LetsTalkUniversity
      @LetsTalkUniversity  5 років тому +36

      The worth of this institution ultimately comes down to each individual student's unique experience. After speaking with many NYU students, the distance between cost and benefit seemed reasonable for most of them. Some of the aspects that were deemed negative by some students were seen as positive by others. The qualities that NYU is lacking are offset by something unique to NYU that the students enjoy.
      This channel has no official affiliation with NYU, but I want to be sure viewers receive balanced opinions. This principle is why we also have a video stating the best parts about NYU, which is spoken by the same students. You can watch that video here: ua-cam.com/video/WZ9V-HUEFyE/v-deo.html

    NYU is only worth the price if you're going to Stern, since they have some of the best undergraduate business programs in the nation. Other than that, save your money at a state school

    • @gabriellinares6746
      @gabriellinares6746 5 років тому +16

      @Intelligence Injection I'm literally a student at NYU, buddy. What I'm saying isn't even an opinion. It's well-known fact, and any logical minded person will agree. NYU has AWFUL financial aid, and its business school is the only school ranked highly on the national level. For every other school at NYU, you're literally paying 10s of thousands of dollars more each year for no reason. There are plenty of other schools that are ranked higher AND give better financial aid AND are cheaper overall. NYU is only worth the money if you're going to Stern, like myself. Now take your stupidity somewhere else

    • @gabriellinares6746
      @gabriellinares6746 5 років тому +4

      @Intelligence Injection I do think highly of myself considering I beat an 11% acceptance rate and got into Stern. There's a reason why Stern has the lowest acceptance rate out of any undergrad school at NYU. It's because it's the best of all of them. And what I'm saying still isn't clicking in your brain. NYU is a good school overall, yes. But there are OTHER schools (outside of business) that are MUCH cheaper and are ranked HIGHER nationally than NYU. Would you like me to provide some examples for you? It seems you're unable to conduct a simple Google search. I never said every other school at NYU was awful. I'm saying, comparatively speaking, you're wasting money by choosing NYU over a school that has just as many resources for students and will give you an even better education. And ALL of my NYU friends outside of Stern (mainly at Steinhardt, Tandon, and Gallatin) agree with me that the school is way too expensive, but they continue to attend because they love the city.

    • @gabriellinares6746
      @gabriellinares6746 5 років тому +10

      @Intelligence Injection There's so much stupidity in your comments that I don't know where to start.
      Firstly, you're the one who can't read. I was talking about "resources and stuff" (as you so eloquently stated it) in ADDITION to finances. I LITERALLY said that there are plenty of schools that have "just as many resources for students and will give you an even better education." Having trouble reading there, aren't you? Let's re-read my message verrryyyyy slowlyyyyy so you can understand precisely what I'm communicating to you.
      You can't be so dense as to think NYU is the only school with excellent resources for students. Also, I know that money isn't an issue for everyone. My original comment was talking specifically about wether NYU is WORTH the price, not whether each individual person could afford it. Once again, your stupidity is showing.
      Also, you seem very defensive for..... what reason? Your insecurities are showing. I've tried objectively discussing Stern's impressive statistics to highlight why this school is the flagship school at NYU, not because I wanted to show off. But you're the one who interpreted it as me bragging and tried to make a slick comment about it, so you're damn right I'm going to boast about my achievements. It looks like your ego is slightly damaged.
      I'd also like to point out that you said "a lot" of NYU students who do not go to Stern would disagree with me. So I want to ask you: where is YOUR evidence? You literally don't even go to school here. "A lot" doesn't sound like a very precise measurement to me. Hence, since YOU yourself used anecdotal evidence, I provided you with anecdotal evidence of my own based on what I, an ACTUAL student who attends the school and interacts with several students daily, observed.
      And has it occurred to you that Columbia University is MORE expensive than NYU? And most other colleges in NYC are just as expensive as NYU as well. The reason why people come to NYU to enjoy living in the city is because this school is quite literally a part of the city and doesn't have a centralized campus unlike other schools. That's why many people stay.
      Lastly, your attempt to use business-like vocabulary is laughable. I have "no idea how to make arrangements"??? Is this how "I plan to negotiate"? LMFAOOOO. What are you even talking about? You're making a fool of youself. Keep that high school dropout education away from me, please and thank you. I'm genuinely wondering why my comment has you so upset if you're not even attending this school. It literally doesn't effect you whatsoever, and by the looks of it, you lack the intellect to even be accepted by NYU.
      If you've made it this far in my comment, I'm proud of you! Good job on being able to read this much. Take time to process what I've said very slowly. You need all the time you can get.

      @gabriellinares6746 5 років тому +2

      @@haleyclawsie4666 That's great to hear! I really hope you get in. You'll love it. I can't really tell you what was most important in their decision to accept me because I genuinely don't know. I think it really is just a balance of many things; they want well-rounded students. Here's a rundown of my stats:
      - 1470 SAT (I took it twice; this is basically the exact average SAT score for Stern)
      - 7.86 weighted GPA & 3.98 unweighted GPA (I took 5 AP courses and 24 dual-enrollment courses)
      - Ranked #2 in my class
      - 230 community service hours
      - Graduated high school with my A.A. degree from a local community college (I was a part of my school's dual-enrollment program)
      - President of my school's National Honor Society chapter for 2 years
      - President of AVID Club for 1 year
      - Vice President of Key Club for 2 years
      - Collegiate/Student Ambassador at my school for 3 years
      - Student Mentor at my high school (i.e. tutoring freshmen) for 3 years
      - Environmental Ambassador for 2 years
      - Awarded the national AP Scholar Award in 2018
      - Won "Distinguished Member" 2 years in a row at the state level for Key Club
      - there's a few other "fluff" awards/distinctions, but they're really nothing too impressive
      - I didn't play any sports
      - I didn't work at any point during high school
      and I think that sums most of it up. Let me know if I'm missing anything. My weak spots were not playing sports and not working outside of school, but I made up for it in other areas. To be honest, I think the admissions office really just wants to know that you're bringing something unique to the school. You have to make yourself stand out from just numbers and stats on a paper. That's why your admissions essay is so important! I know some people who were admitted into Stern with much less impressive stats because they wrote an incredible admissions essay, had an incredible backstory, or balanced out some less-impressive stats with something super awesome on their resume.
      I hope this helped. Feel free to reach out to me if you need any more advice! Good luck!
