Are you a hipster or a delusional fucking moron? If so, The New School is the perfect fit for you. This rich kid daycare is only $60,000 a year. If you're looking for a good education or even some decent friends, guaranteed you will not get your money's worth. Applying to TNS is much easier than developing a personality. Plus, free pot!
Hannah went to The New School? Figures. After those acid flashbacks she really never was the same...

New School Gaming is a style of play for TTRPGs that seeks to emulate video game play. It has a focus on railroaded play where player decisions do not affect the outcome of the game. Instead of having a risk of death for the characters, the game is dumbed down and made easier so that winning is assured and nothing difficult is encountered. Use of your imagination is discouraged and skills related to being able to think outside the box are not needed.
New School Gaming is all about all round pegs for all round holes, total uniformity and nothing unique.

New-School rap is the gay, bling-bling, "killing faggots, pigs, bitches, and hoes," fucked-up-ass bullshit we hear on the radio today! If you want to hear real rap, listen to the old-school. You can't go wrong.
New School rap, by today's standards, is 50 Cent, Eminem, and all these retards who are currently on the goddamn radio.

Old-School rap, by today's standards, contains all the great artists who have risen to fame before 1995. These artists contain, House of Pain, Cypress Hill, Run-DMC, The Beastie Boys, NWA, Naughty by Nature, The Sugarhill Gang, Eric B. & Rakim, etc.

A university in downtown Manhattan (Greenwich Village) that really, really wants to be NYU, going so far as to have many of its buildings mere blocks away. Populated mostly by kids who didn't or couldn't get into NYU. Had a controversy in 2006 when it switched to just "The New School" from "The New School University" and changed its logo from a standard collegiate shield to what looks like a spray-painted tag. Many people called them out for failing to maintain academic integrity.

Considered to be more avant-garde than your standard university. Actually more or less where rich people send their kids who want an excuse to live in New York City for four (or more) years without working.

Despite the bad rap it has, it's got an extensive list of notable past faculty including Frank O'Hara, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Woody Allen, as well as a pretty long list of notable alumni, including Sufjan Stevens, Jonah Hill, and Marc Jacobs (note that the people I just listed didn't go on to enter academic careers).

People that go there tend to be a toss-up between arrogant, hipster, "I'm-better-than-you-because-I-read-more" pricks and honest, cool people. On the whole the student body seems to be much more artier and hip than most schools across the country, and why not? It's New York City!

On the school's website, they tend to stress the fact that The New School is in New York City more than anything else (very few mentions of academic integrity, student life, etc. In fact, it's very hard to find information on dorms).

Many of the schools within the university have ridiculously long and confusing names. They are:
- The New School for General Studies
- The New School for Social Research
- Milano The New School for Management and Urban Policy
- Parsons The New School for Design
- Eugene Lange College The New School for Liberal Arts
- Mannes College The New School for Music
- The New School for Drama
- The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music
"My grades aren't high enough to get into Columbia or NYU and God knows I won't go to Pace, so I'm going to Eugene Lange College The New School for Liberal Arts."

Person 1: "Well I really enjoyed the didactic undertones in many of Georges Batailles novels."
Person 2: "Did you read 'Story of the Eye'?"
Person 1: "Ugh, how disgusting! Of course not, that's the one that everybody knows; it's too mainstream for me. I prefer to subvert the norm."
Person 2: "Where did you say you went again?"
Person 1: "The New School."

Parsons is a branch of The New School in Greenwhich Village, Manhatten. Parsons is a member of the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design (AICAD), a consortium of thirty-five leading art schools in the United States. It's an art school famously known for it's fashion and located in the Garment District. It has been in Project Runway, and has a very large population of gay students. It has very competitive admissions, and excellent resources. The security and cafeteria staff are hilarious and very fun loving.
"Jenny the lunch lady from Parsons the new school of design just told me spiked her redbulls with vodka before serving us breakfast!"

"Ha. Well clyde just told me his wife was actually a man and is living in guatemala until he can smuggle him/her into NYC."
