New York University Reviews

"I really enjoyed it. It has a great location and a very diverse curriculum and student community."

"NYU's network is very strong, particularly if you're looking to stay in NYC. I'm very glad I did the part-time program and took advantage of my employer's tuition reimbursement policy. Business school would have been prohibitively expensive otherwise."

"It was okay but it was difficult to find research groups to join. The Master's faculty are separate from the Doctoral faculty so you don't get to take the same classes as the Ph.D. candidates."

"I love NYU. I mean it can be tough living in the city in the beginning but overall I had a great experience."

"NYU filmmaking program is a very intense film program with basically one film to make each term. It definitely helps one to become a real filmmaker. We've had cinematography, editing, writing and directing classes. Usually there will be 10-15 people for each class. The first semester we learnt and shot on super 16mm film camera, it was very rare for film school to make students do that anymore. It is a fun school with lots of talents people."

"NYU is a wonderful school for self-motivated students. It's an incredible opportunity to be in the city; you have access to so many internship and other work opportunities. It is a very large school, so you should be prepared to feel like you're one in a very large crowd."

"NYU is an institution of the highest order, and it's reputation is strong. The academics are challenging and the offerings are unique. I believe you can learn at NYU what you cannot learn anywhere else. In the heart of the greatest city of the world, you will be stretched both personally and professionally. I believe that you get what you pay for, and being an NYU grad has huge benefits in the professional world."

"New York University is an amazing place to be for a graduate student. To be able to study public health in this prime location and to be amongst a diverse and educated staff and faculty is a privilege. I wasn't sure about my decision to attend NYU's College of Global Public Health at first but I am thankful that I did. Do your homework on every graduate program you're interested in, but make sure your decision also heavily considers community engagement and faculty diversity -- they make or break your experience."

"The Nutrition and Food Studies department at New York University is excellent. As a current Food Studies graduate student I have found the curriculum and department opportunities to be engaging and thought provoking. There is a strong sense of community throughout the department and I have found that my professors are accessible and willing to help. The most rewarding part of the program thus far has been the countless resources that NYU offers. Some of my favorite resources have been the graduate study lounges in the library, resume review at Wasserman (the career center), the free language courses, and discounted tickets at events in the city."

"New York University has an amazing teaching style of discussion -based classes even for your program's required classes. New York City becomes your campus, and with that comes amazing opportunities. I am so happy with my decision to attend this University, and although it is pricey, I know the degree will pay for itself."

"A rigorous program that offers an in-depth and broad foundation in Computer Science. One must have programming experience to succeed in the foundational classes. C++ is a necessity. The teachers mostly offer help as needed. The coursework is challenging."

"NYU is not the kind of school where everyone would be happiest, but it is the kind of school where everyone can find happiness. There is no real campus, finding community is difficult, and most students are doing ten things at once. But for anyone willing to put in the effort, there are countless opportunities for growth. I had a valuable experience at NYU because I did everything: after realizing how much I enjoyed my Intro to Sociology class freshman year, I developed a relationship with the professor and was able to secure a research assistant position, which I held for the rest of my college career. Enthusiasm and a go-getter attitude always paid off, whether it was in obtaining that research assistant job, pursuing interesting projects for classes, or studying abroad. I went into college shy and quiet and emerged a new person. My professors in the sociology department were outstanding, counseling me one-on-one and encouraging my interest in a specific area of sociology. Sociology students in New York City have unique possibilities to go anywhere with their research, whether they want to study public housing, the Orthodox Jewish community of Crown Heights, or a public park in a  neighborhood (all projects which I had the opportunity to complete). All in all, I had an amazing experience studying society and social behavior in the most diverse, populous city in the country at a school that encouraged all pursuits."

"Not only does New York University have one of the best social work programs incorporated with one of the best clinical training, but it is a beautiful campus as well. The atmosphere, the restaurants, the professors and the students make the experience one of the best."

"New York University has been helpful in my pursuit to obtaining my Master's degree in mental health counseling. The professors are highly trained professionals in the field providing valuable information and advice to everyone about what skills, beliefs, etc they need to become a successful counselor. With small class sizes, I have a more personal one on one relationship with my professors in which they know everyone's names and take the time to get to know their students. Most importantly, the internship requirement in the program exposes me to the mental health counseling field before I graduate and meet other fellow peers in the field."

"I had expectations that were not be met, particularly from program support, finding other people who look like you, and exploring opportunities related to your interests. However, use the program to network, have a prepared elevator pitch on your program and goals. You have to create your own opportunities! Just persist and your hard work will all be worth it."

"I'm in a Master of Fine Arts program that takes place in Paris, France. I work with some of the most distinguished writers and professors in my field in the world's epicenter of art and culture, Paris. I see potential in my career and academic pursuit of a Ph.D due to this program and feel NYU continues to be a top institution for the field of Creative Writing. My school also offers support and mentors for graduate students, which I find as a plus. I work with writers of all ages and some who are already teaching professors who live in other countries. Financial Aid is tricky as an international student and any scholarship helps, but this experience has been so much of what I have desired for my graduate education."

"NYU is a great school with a wide range of programs and a bunch of on campus activities and events. For your first year it may be a bit over whelming as a lot is going around you at campus and then the NYC life outside of campus but you'll get the hang of it."

"The students and the professor are great. I learned a lot and the internship opportunities are amazing. As with any college, some professors are hit and miss, but for the most part, all of my professors in the social work program were really caring and always available to us. A lot of the professors go above and beyond to make our learning experience valuable."

"The School Counseling program under the Applied Psychology department of Steinhardt has been an amazing experience so far. The professors are attentive, well-prepared and very well versed in their field. They come to class with a lot of field experience which allows the dense coursework to become more practical and tangible. There's a lot of discussion among classmates and professors which allows us to feel safe to voice ourselves. The program is small, about 20-25 students so we have a great community and comradely. Every class is distinct in the topic at hand and we are prepared well through a year long internship program during our second year. I love this program and I'm so happy to have moved from CA to attend NYU."

"NYU is an excellent choice for risk takers, self-starters, and dreamers. Know what your passion is? There are plenty of courses to help you cultivate your craft and plenty of organizations for internships. Not sure? You'll find your niche here in no time."
