NYU Breaks Ground In Exotic DC

For the University's first "Study Away" site—where students get to study somewhere else without that pesky business of getting a passport—NYU has broken ground on the Constance Milstein and Family Academic Center in DC, where students can study Congress full time! But Marty Lipton, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of NYU, insists the site still fits in with his vision of a "global network university." He said at the groundbreaking, “At first we thought ‘global’ was the most important of the three words…but we came to realize that the real word is university." "Network" never gets no respect.

I hope this represents an overextension that will lead to bankruptcy for this shoddy diploma mill.

Good!

More educational opportunities! That's a good thing.

I wish it was more affordable but I'll never frown upon education.

Unlike a lot of other schools, even the study abroad programs are on NYU owned land, and NYU owned classrooms. That's why they call it NYU in Florence, NYU in Berlin, NYU in Ghana etc.. It's very strange.
