Things to Consider
New York University
- 1 CRITICAL: Minimal traditional school spirit (no football, Division III athletics, limited attendance) - direct conflict with student's desire for 'strong school spirit'
- 2 CRITICAL: Campus empties on weekends with students dispersing into NYC - conflicts with 'NOT a commuter school' requirement and desire for active campus social scene
- 3 CRITICAL: Limited nature access and only moderate sunshine (224 days/year) with cold winters - conflicts with student who 'loves nature and sunshine'
- 4 Large introductory class sizes (100-300 students in CAS) conflict with desire for 'smaller classes and teacher support' - requires proactive initiative
- 5 Very expensive ($60K tuition + $21K room/board + high NYC living costs) with historically limited financial aid and $32K average debt
