New York University Top Questions

What is the stereotype of students at your school?

Tate

There are very few boys, and all the attractive ones are gay.

Lauren

Some of the stereotypes is that everyone is from Jersey, or that everyone has money and is a hardcore partier. Also that NYU students are all artsy and experimentative in these years with their looks, social behaviors, etc.

Michelle

Undesirable boys - The female/male ratio here is 60/40, and there is a general consensus that all the boys are either gay, taken, or unattainable. Hipster - Before coming here, I was very intimidated by the image of an artsy East Village student. It seems that everyone dresses well and is into seeing shows, going to art galleries, and clubbing a lot.

Jerry

Before coming to NYU, in my mind the student population was split into a couple categories. First, you have the spoiled kids who might never know that FAFSA is a really important set of initials. Next NYU's prime SOHO location also must bring the artists who bring back that little bit of 60s and 70s to the area. I also heard that NYU is very big and unfriendly.

Alex

Everyone's a theater kid. Everyone has a major that won't get a job, or they are in Stern and don't care about anything besides getting a job. Prissy bitches with too much money.
