What makes NYU stand out among other universities?

Hey everyone, I've been looking into NYU and I'm trying to figure out what the hype is all about. What programs or aspects really make NYU special compared to other urban universities?

Hey there! Great question—NYU definitely has a certain appeal that draws students in from all over the world.

One standout feature of NYU is its incredibly international perspective. With its global network of campuses, students have unique opportunities to study abroad at NYU sites in cities like Paris, Shanghai, and Abu Dhabi. This is not just an exchange program but a full integration into the NYU system, ensuring a seamless academic experience.

Another aspect is NYU's integration with New York City. Unlike campuses that are self-contained, NYU is spread throughout the city, which allows for unparalleled access to internships, cultural events, and networking opportunities in various fields.

For example, the Tisch School of the Arts gives aspiring artists and performers direct access to the heart of the entertainment industry. Plus, their Stern School of Business is highly ranked and provides connections to Wall Street that are hard to rival.

These are just a couple of examples, but NYU really leverages its location to enhance its academic and extracurricular offerings.
