Eh, if I was from some other state, had shitloads of money to spend, didn't care much about academic quality, and wanted a fun, urban college experience, NYU would totally be my choice. Ultimately, the current landscape of higher education seems insane, with the majority of applicants aspiring to the same 5% of schools.

NYU was a safety school until Felicity came on the air. It should go back to being a safety school when non-NYers realize they will working next to non-white people at Dean & Deluca's.

NYU is swallowing the community whole. They should focus less on expansion and more on quality. Given the massive size of the school, and its relatively 'small' endowment, it can't do much about helping students with Financial Aid, even though $2 Billion is definitely nothing to sneeze at. Harvard on the other hand, has DOUGH.
