New York University- A massively overrated school that everyone wants to go to. Most of these kids come from suburbs and don't know any other universities in NYC.

Rather than doing some research on other great schools in the area (i.e. Fordham University, Columbia University) they all want to go to NYU because they "love New York".

Also, they probably know nothing about NYC, and believe that Manhattan is NYC, completely forgetting that there are 4 OTHER BOROUGHS.
Dumbass: "omgz I'm gunna apply to NYU. I luv new yorx!!1!1"

well-read intellectual at Columbia: "oh nice...so how do you like the village?"

Get the NYU mug.
Where child actors go, besides the Ivies, because:

1) They can't hack it at any other school
2) Just want to say they went to college in NYC for 2-3 years
3) Did poor research on other universities

and/or

4) Just luv NYC and most likely have no clue that NYC consists of 5 boroughs.
NYU - Tisch is overrated for acting. You want to polish your craft? Go to Julliard. You want rigorous academics? Go to the University of Chicago or Washington University-St. Louis.

A school for those who appreciate New York City, but don't want to live on the corner of 116th Street and The Middle of Fucking Nowhere.

school housing tons of scholars, brilliant kids from the nations top public and private high schools and elite prep schookls (exeter, andover, hotchkiss, et al). Lots of students belong to the most elite families in the country and the world, and simply attending will improve your social standing dramatically, due to the thousands of people you will meet. although not as prestigious as Columbia, parties MUCH harder, and has many more attractive people. As a Stern students get offers in investment banking, consulting, marketing, real estate, really just everything from prestigious companies (goldman sachs, UBS, Credit Suisse, Blackstone, Boston Consulting, etc.). Yes, there are weird schools associated with NYU (gallatin and Tisch), but these kids are creative, independent, ridiculously talented, and are likely to be seen on the big screen. The students are fierce- in terms of fashion AND partying. Girls routinely go to the hottest clubs in the meatpacking district and party with models, celebrities, and millionaire moguls. Guys and girls are always dressed in the most cutting edge fashion, which is why we are commonly referred to as the most fashionable school in the nation. Other schools can keep there keggers, we have swanky rooftop penthouse parties with hard liquor, and party non stop in a trillion different bars and clubs. Students here all have fake ID's, and partying in the hamptons over weekends at one of your friends beachside mansions is the norm.
NYU-The only school where you can be in class and find imdb pages for at least 3 of the people in it, work on problem sets with super models who are in your math class, find that cute girl from econ's name plastered all over the huffington post cause she is marrying into royalty, and discover that your suitemate's dad is ranked as one of Forbes richest men in the world.

nyuusu, nyusu, nyus, nyu-su, nyu-s, new-s, new's, nyūsu, nüsu or whatever stylized word which coresponding to a Japanese ”ニュース” (sounds new-s, not newz) refers to a buy-us kind material shown on Japanese media that looks like "news", so naturally, should not be confused with news articles.
