NYU is not your traditional university with miles of green acreage and beautifully manicured pathways connecting academic buildings. This university basically surrounds Washington Square, a small park filled with eclectic personalities, which acts as the school's common area, while the university itself spreads out in a 2 block radius in each direction around that same park. Given its compact size, the university has tons of people passing through, most of which are a mix between students, tourists, and locals. In a city of over 20 million people, that can be exciting or intimidating, depending upon your temperament. The school itself has around 28,000 enrolled students. If you like the excitement of a big city married to the concept of a college campus, NYU is your vibe. We toured here, and my daughter loved it. I thought it strange that we didn't get to see any classrooms, dining facilities, or living quarters on the tour, and I think this would have enhanced our overall experience. This is one of the only college tours we've been on that left out all three. There is a lot of emphasis on academics and research opportunities for students. NYU stands as the premiere educational institution in New York City next to Columbia.
