A place where kids from the northeast go when they get rejected from Columbia. They then tend to resign themselves to their fate and subsequently try to convince themselves and anyone else stupid enough to listen that its actually as good if not better than Columbia or anywhere else.

To make fun of NYU international students(mainly Chinese) that speak cracked English. It was originally from a TikTok Video that a Chinese girl tried to ask her NYU guy friend about his relationship, which begins with"How many girls have you f**ked after access to NYU? " And this video went viral after several meme bloggers reposted it.

NYU Tandon is the school of engineering and applied science at New York University and is one of the highly ranked engineering programs in the nation. It is the second oldest private school of engineering and technology in the United States. The school's main campus is in Brooklyn's MetroTech Center, an urban academic-industrial research park.
It is one of several engineering schools that were founded based on a European polytechnic university model in the 1800s, in response to the increasing industrialization of the United States. It has been a key center of research in the development of microwave, wireless, radar, electronics in general, polymers, industrial engineering and operations research and the US space program.
The school dates back to 1854 when its predecessor institutions, the University of the City of New York School of Civil Engineering and Architecture and the Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute, were founded. The school was renamed in 2015 in honor of NYU Trustees Chandrika and Ranjan Tandon following their donation of $100 million to the school.
Its past and present graduates and faculty include Nobel Prize winners, National Medals for Science, Technology and Innovation winners, astronauts, Russ Prize, IEEE Edison Medal, Turing Award, Gordon Prize and Draper Prize winners and over 100 of National Academy of Engineering members.

The official slang name of The NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering, recently changed to the NYU Tandon School of Engineering by some tyrants on the NYU board of trustees.
NYU Polytechnic, (nicknamed NYU Poly) was originally an all men's engineering school which later became the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, which then joined NYU to become NYU Polytechnic, then left NYU and kept the name NYU Poly. Then in 2014 NYU finally merged with New York University to become the New York NYU Polytechnic Institute. NYU Poly has grown to become one of the world's best engineering establishments, which continued to grow until the Tandon family gave $100 million to the school to rename it in their likeness. Most students and almost all staff still call the school, NYU Poly, or just Poly.
