The #1 Dream School in the nation. NYU is a prestigious institution that receives more applications (usually upwards of 33,000) than any other private university in the country. Home to the best dorms in the nation, it's also notorious for its $45,000 pricetag, though a good portion of the student body is composed of celebrity children and millionaires.
You know you go to NYU when you're complaining about living in the #1 dorm in the country.

A school providing its students with some of the most amazing opportunities in one of the world's greatests citys. Critics would be quick to examine themselves first before decrying the university for its shortcomings.
Hey look at me, I went to NYU and employment wasn't handed to me on a silver platter after I graduated, it must be the school's fault.

Hey look, I worked hard for four years in the media capital of the world, now I'm on an awesome career track. Yay for me.

The biggest scam in the world. A school where you break the bank attending one semester when most NYC locals know damn well that Baruch College is just down the street and can land you a great job anywhere for 1/10 of the price
John chose to go to Baruch over NYU for his business degree because he realized he could get an apartment and go to school dirt cheap rather than spend 70k a year on tuition and live on the streets of Greenwich Village.
