Though I struggled socially at NYU during covid, I do think the school has great academics and better opportunities/events than in the past. I had a few bad egg professors, but most were generally knowledgeable and passed down great information for me to use. Networking can either be really easy or quite difficult depending on how social you are.

The whole 'no campus' thing can also get a bit annoying, especially with the surrounding area. Strangers approaching you randomly for donations to organizations... Read More can be common, especially around Union Square or Washington Square Park. Dorming at Second Street was a nightmare too, as there were a lot of drug addicts nearby. Well, it's New York City.

Food was pretty meh, but certain dorms provide kitchens and groceries are always nearby. If you are introverted like me, you'll need to learn how to get out of your box in order to make connections. Overall, I'd give it a 5/10.

I greatly enjoyed my time at NYU! It was a wonderful experience to attend the Stern School of Business, and it taught me a lot about both myself and the business world. I was able to gain valuable internship experiences at companies in the beauty, media, and tech industries thanks to the amazing NYU alumni network, which contributed to me being able to land a full-time job in my field of study less than six months after graduation. I also made the most wonderful friends on campus who I still spend... Read More time with frequently, and hope to stay connected to for years to come. Overall, NYU was a perfect choice for me and gave me a newfound love for the city I grew up so close to as a New York resident.

I studied Sales and Marketing at New York University, and the experience significantly shaped my understanding of the modern business environment. The program was well structured and covered a wide range of important topics, including consumer behavior, digital marketing strategies, brand development, market research, and sales management. Each course combined theoretical knowledge with practical applications, which helped me better understand how marketing and sales operate in real business situations.... Read More

I moved to New York to attend school. I was very excited to do so, I had a lot a dreams about what school would be like. It hasn't been a single one of those things. I thought that I would feel like I'm apart of a community, that I would meet cool people and professors and learn something that I wouldn't have learned at a school from my home state. Instead I feel isolated, the people here are all weird and there are so many professors there isn't a chance for community to form. Moving to New York... Read More has been very disappointing all around.

When I think back to my time at NYU as a Political Science major, class of 2017, what stands out most isn鈥檛 one single class or professor鈥攊t鈥檚 the feeling of constantly being just a little overwhelmed, a little inspired, and a little more awake to the world than I was the year before.
NYU didn鈥檛 hand me a neatly packaged 鈥渃ollege experience.鈥� There were no quads, no football games, no sense that the university existed separately from the rest of life. Instead, campus was the city. I used to joke with... Read More friends that NYU didn鈥檛 feel like school until midterms, when suddenly the entire student population materialized in Bobst Library like it was a migration pattern. But what NYU lacked in traditional structure, it made up for in something I didn鈥檛 realize I needed at 18: the freedom to figure out the kind of adult I wanted to become.
Politics felt incredibly real at NYU. Walking out of an international relations seminar and straight into a protest in Union Square wasn鈥檛 unusual鈥攊t was normal. The 2016 election unfolded during my junior year, and the city felt like the center of the universe. Our professors didn鈥檛 shy away from the messiness of what was happening; if anything, they leaned into it. Discussions that year felt raw and sometimes uncomfortable, but they also taught me how to disagree with people while still listening鈥攁n ability I didn鈥檛 fully appreciate until long after graduation.
The political science department itself had its quirks. Some classes were more theory-heavy than I would鈥檝e liked, and there were definitely professors who seemed to live solely in the world of academia. But there were others鈥攍ike the adjunct who worked at the UN, or the professor who pushed us to understand political behavior through both data and empathy鈥攚ho changed the way I think. They made the field feel urgent and alive.
NYU also taught me how to be resourceful. When your 鈥渃ampus鈥� is Manhattan, you learn to navigate internships, part-time jobs, late-night subway rides, and the constant temptation to do something more interesting than your assigned reading. In hindsight, that juggling act was one of the most valuable parts of my education. It helped me build confidence that I could handle the real world because, in many ways, I was already living in it.
Socially, NYU can be hit or miss, and I felt both sides of it. It鈥檚 easy to feel anonymous, or like everyone else has a plan while you鈥檙e still figuring things out. But the friendships I did form were deep, shaped by shared subway commutes, 1am halal cart dinners, and the surreal feeling of watching the sun rise over Washington Square after staying up too late talking about life.
Looking back eight years later, NYU didn鈥檛 mold me鈥攊t challenged me, pushed me, and sometimes exasperated me. But it also expanded my world. It taught me to think critically, to question assumptions, and to see politics as something lived, not just studied.
I don鈥檛 think NYU is for everyone. But for me, graduating in 2017 with a political science degree felt like stepping out of one whirlwind and directly into another鈥攂ut with a deeper sense of how the world works, and how I want to operate within it.

The master鈥檚 program exceeded my expectations in both academic rigor and professional relevance. The curriculum is thoughtfully structured, combining foundational theory with practical, real-world applications that are immediately valuable in today鈥檚 competitive landscape. Courses are delivered by knowledgeable and highly supportive faculty who demonstrate a clear commitment to student success.

I particularly appreciated the program鈥檚 strong emphasis on critical thinking, leadership, and analytical... Read More skills. The learning environment encourages collaboration while still allowing students the flexibility to tailor their experience to their individual interests and career goals. Access to academic resources, mentorship opportunities, and industry insights further enriched the overall experience.

The environment was hostile and adversarial. I was disappointed by the number of students and professors who engaged in gossiping, smearing others, not working well together (not sharing work or credit), etc. There were clear favorites (usually the sycophants and charmers). Most of the students are from 1 country/region (not the U.S.) and unfortunately a lot of them have an "us vs. them" mentality. At least the courses were challenging and interesting, although the program cannot teach you everything... Read More in 2 years. Most of the courses are taught using R, a few in Stata (but no Python!).
