New York University Reviews

"The affordability of campus living/off campus living is very high (that is expected in New York). I do not feel like NYU has a strong sense of community. Otherwise, I think the faculty and university challenge their students to their academic potential. There is academic competition and the quality of your education is amazing."

"So far in my matriculation NYU Steinhardt is first class customer service, faculty is great and approachable, and I really feel that they want me to succeed."

"While the tuition is quite high for the program, the access to the university's resources and courses designed by professionals in the field have made my overall experience worth the cost."

"The overall graduate program has excellent professors that work in the field and are able to give firsthand knowledge into the field of study."

"New York University is a wonderful school filled with many bright and talented individuals. It has been a great experience learning from the faculty and interacting with other scholars. The school surrounds Washington Square Park, which is a beautiful view while studying. The downsides are the steep expenses of the school as well as the great amount of workload placed on students, but these aspects are expected with any prestigious institution."

"The pros of my graduate program is that it is a small program compose of only 8 people. This means that the attention that we all have towards the program is very focused. We have connected and use each other as resources for our individual projects. The program also provides a curriculum that encourages intensive work within our fields. The cons: Because we are a new program at NYU, there is sometimes unclarity on what needs to happen. However, this means that we are developing the program as we go which is very exciting. Not sure if its a total con."

"Pros: NYC, excellent faculty, community of students, freedom of expression, location. Cons: expensive, facilities are lacking, isolation from other schools (I have never met someone who goes to stern...)"

"Some of the pros in the Silver School of NYU graduate program include the faculty members, who come from a range of diverse practices within the field. Silver School has its own separate building, where all social work classes are held making it very convenient to attend classes. The graduate level courses and curriculum are very relevant to the field work. Silver has a wide range of field placements and it is a very clinically oriented program for those who are interested in Clinical Social Work. Some cons of the program are that grants and scholarships are very limited. Also, the student population within the program is not too diverse."

"The pros of the Masters of social work is that it is a clinically focused program, the professors are very knowledgeable in said subject and there are very intelligent and hard working students in the program. The cons of this program/NYU is the lack of scholarships available, I felt as though I didn't learn as much as I could have learned with one professor, and NYU can do better with diversity."

"-Huge, bureaucratic administration; expect to have at least a couple of major ordeals with your registration, financial aid, etc. People are nice and will resolve it, but it's a pain. -Professors are generally good, helpful, and well-connected, though my friends and I all had at least one truly terrible class (in different departments). -NYC is one of the best possible places to be academically, culturally, and in almost every other respect. -Very high tuition and little financial aid for many MA programs, coupled with extremely high cost of living."

"NYU Tisch Acting Department is a great place to be. There is so much to learn and you learn from the best. Tisch has the ability to accept many applicants because the program is so large which is what causes some problems and flaws because there are so many people. You have to really fight for the attention in certain studios because there are large grades. Other than that, you do have the chance to learn different techniques and methods in your later years. One large and cumbersome issue is that there are so many extraneous requirements that are necessary to get your degree, but you just have to deal with that."

"NYU Stern is a great MBA program with incredible career opportunities and support. From the moment you arrive, you can tell why the school has consistently been highly ranked over the past few years. They have successfully moved away from being a finance-only business school and truly cater to MBA candidates from every background who are looking to get into every sector. You also cannot beat the location - New York City is literally where everything is at. While your other MBA friends are taking planes, trains, and automobiles to come attend recruiting events, you can slip out of your apartment and walk a few blocks up the street to meet with some of the top executives at the world's most powerful companies."

"The program is great. The cost of living in NYC is astronomical and adds to the stress of completing the program. However, the quality of education and available technology for research at NYU are outstanding."

"The administration is ridiculous, and there is not enough guidance to finish in five years."

"The PhD program in Psych at NYU has the potential to be great, given the interesting research coming out of the department. However, working in extremely limited facilities with competitive access to lab and office space, no internal funding available to pay research subjects, and a "research focused" program where faculty members are loathe to actually instruct students in any capacity makes it highly unsatisfying, especially during the first years. If you are a student looking to learn during your time in a PhD program, you will likely be disappointed at the level of mentorship available. If you come in with a set research program and just want to power through on your own, you'll probably be fine."

"The program lacks sufficient structure and support to complete a doctorate within five years."

"Great program. Excellent professors. The program focuses on expanding your knowledge base while helping you focus on one subject matter. Although the hope remains for you to pursue your PhD after completing the MA, you do have NYC as your background--opportunity to try a different occupation is everywhere!"

"NYU Stern is the best business school in the world. It is unrivaled in Finance, extremely strong in marketing and has been the most positive experience in my life."

"amazing adjunct professors and great student collaboration"

"The MA Art Therapy program at NYU is one of the best in the country. It is fully accredited by AATA and was one of the first to be recognized nationally. New York University is a global education, an investment worth making."
