NYU

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.

NYU Tandon

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.

NYU Poly

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.
Person 1: Hey Person 2, what college do you go to now that you graduated?
Person 2: I go to NYU Poly!
Person 1: Oh yea, didn't they rename that school?
Person 2: *Sigh* yea, now its NYU Tandon :/

Person 1: Tandon? {Lol that sounds like NYU Tampon
Person2: Rofl You're right it definitely does. I liked NYU Poly a lot better.

NYU Tandon

A degree mill that used to be called 'Poly' or the 'Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn' which had a 75% acceptance rate in 2012. It used to be cheap school until it got bought out by NYU. Now it's a real estate and land owned by NYU that disguised as a educational institution.

NYU Tandon increased the tuition several folds while the teaching quality and facility are still at a low-tier.
After a rich Indian donated big bucks to the school and it got renamed to Tandon.
The student demographics of this school hasn't changed. Lazy lackluster, gamers, kids who should've went to community college first,etc.

Now NYU Tandon is regarded as a back-door option to get into NYU.

There has been an increase in kids that aren't interested in engineering but are desparate for the NYU brand so they use NYU Tandon as a backdoor to NYU. Thus the quality continues to decrease.

NYU Tandon is one of the few engineering schools where engineering students are the worst quality students compared to the rest of NYU.
HS kid A: Yo dude what school you goin to?
HS kid B: Dude, I'm going to NYU?
HS kid A: Oh sick dude, which school.
HS kid B: NYU Tandon
HS kid A: That's not legit NYU man, it's a lame school full of dumb kids
HS kid B: Yea I know but at least I can fool some people and say 'I went to NYU'
HS kid A: Bruh, that's so shady
