This is where my grandmother, Alice Elliott Lindsley, graduated from in 1921, with a teaching degree in elementary education. She was an elementary school teacher at a public school between Madison and Monroe Streets. Today, at 200 Monroe Street, that site is currently University Neighborhood High School. She taught primarily Italian children, from 1921 to 1923. She commuted from Morristown, NJ each day, by way of steam engine on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western (DLW) to Hoboken, then ferry to Barclay Street, and finally a street car across Canal Street to the Lower East Side! Please see my review of University Neighborhood High School.

An outstanding university with a great campus and academic buildings.

It became one of the nation's largest universities, with an enrollment of 9,300 in 1917.[22] NYU had its Washington Square campus since its founding. The university purchased a campus at University Heights in the Bronx because of overcrowding on the old campus. NYU also had a desire to follow New York City's development further uptown. NYU's move to the Bronx occurred in 1894, spearheaded by the efforts of Chancellor Henry Mitchell MacCracken.[20] The University Heights campus was far more spacious than its predecessor was. As a result, most of the university's operations along with the undergraduate College of Arts and Science and School of Engineering were housed there. NYU's administrative operations were moved to the new campus, but the graduate schools of the university remained at Washington Square.[23] In 1914, Washington Square College was founded as the downtown undergraduate college of NYU. In 1935, NYU opened the "Nassau College-Hofstra Memorial of New York University at Hempstead, Long Island". This extension would later become a fully independent Hofstra University.[24]

In 1950, NYU was elected to the Association of American Universities, a nonprofit organization of leading public and private research universities.[25][26]

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, financial crisis gripped the New York City government and the troubles spread to the city's institutions, including NYU.[27] Feeling the pressures of imminent bankruptcy, NYU President James McNaughton Hester negotiated the sale of the University Heights campus to the City University of New York, which occurred in 1973.[28] In 1973, the New York University School of Engineering and Science merged into Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn,[29] which eventually merged into NYU in 2014 forming the present Tandon School of Engineering. After the sale of the Bronx campus, University College merged with Washington Square College. In the 1980s, under the leadership of President John Brademas,[30] NYU launched a billion-dollar campaign that was spent almost entirely on updating facilities.[31] The campaign was set to complete in 15 years, but ended up being completed in 10.[32] In 2003 President John Sexton launched a $2.5 billion campaign for funds to be spent especially on faculty and financial aid resources.[33]

In 2009, the university responded to a series of New York Times interviews that showed a pattern of labor abuses in its fledgling Abu Dhabi location, creating a statement of labor values for Abu Dhabi campus workers. A 2014 follow-up article found that while some conditions had improved, contractors for the multibillion-endowment university were still frequently subjecting their workers to third-world labor conditions. The article documented that these conditions included confiscation of worker passports, forced overtime, recruitment fees and cockroach-filled dorms where workers had to sleep under beds. According to the article, workers who attempted to protest the NYU contractors' conditions were promptly arrested.[34] The university responded the day of the article with an apology to the workers.[35] Another report was published and it maintains that those who were on strike were arrested by police who then promptly abused them in a police station. Many of those who were not local were then deported to their country.[36] In 2015, NYU compensated thousands of migrant workers on its Abu Dhabi complex.

I was into street performing. I used to juggle carrots, 2 bananas and a parrot, but things got bad and so I had to eat the act.

Great atmosphere of the campus. Love to be the part of this university.

I studied here and don't regret the invested time and money at all. Am still in touch with some classmates and exchange ideas or just stories. A great range of courses for everyone.

Too expensive. About to get my degree though. I give 4 or 5 stars to everything but anything money related. They get negative stars for that if that is possible. They promised me that my financial aid and scholarship wouldn't be affected. It was a big lie. I took classes in Poly, Stern and CAS. Great education.

Loved it, especially since I started working as a janitor at NYU to pay off my loans!

It really gives you a modernish feel and the classes are well and let's just say axellent as in a+ exellent

I loved that place my dream place is America i you

To incoming international students, if you are interested in living in dorms, please think again.

I had to move out of the dorm because I was bullied by my RA. She mistreated me from the get go, and ignored me when I told her to stop. On several occasions, she asked me to come over to her place "to talk" and refused to show up. She even threw me her keys at my face and told me to untangle them when I told her I was moving out.

Btw, this was not an isolated experience among international students.

I want to go to this college. It would be a dream but I should keep dreaming because I m a high school freshman.

One of the well acclaimed educational institutions of New York City.

The best university in the town right next to the Washington square park.

Hull hann that minkia you say, write at least in English.

Want to be one of them someday, I think that's my dream college, I will try my best to make it come true

I want to study there at the University of New York and have if you want ..

As a graduate, I can't complain. They gave me a great education in Nursing.

20 years ago NYU was cutting edge,...recently I returned to support my daughter's enrollment process and was speechless. My daughter is a very respectful, quiet and educated student. The university serves somewhat an opposite agenda.

I had faith in the quality I once knew yet, my daughter was apprehensive. After we had lunch and went to a movie she decided the violence and inequality was overbearing. Sorry NYU, there seems to be an integrity shift.
The Castles

The value of the education one receives at NYU extends beyond the classroom or the degree earned. The network one buys into by competing their studies here is invaluable.

The campus environment compliments the vibrant city that is New York. All around the world the Violet torch is a beacon of prestige.

Also called NYU, it is in Noho, Manhattan. Subway: 8 St (R,W), Astor Pl(6), W 4 St (A,B,C,D,E,F,M), Broadway-Lafayette-Bleeker St (B,D,F,M,6), Christopher St (1), 14 St,Union Sq (4,5,6,N,Q,R,W,L)

Study here
Awesome place

I have no experience but I want to have an experience in NYU

Awesome school with a great alumni through the world. Expensive but all worth it if you have some internships.

I love the school, and it's somewhere I want to go, but my rating is more on my campus tour experience. They probably talked about academics for a total of 10 minutes the entirety of the tour, and maybe dedicated 45 minutes to their study-abroad program. My entire tour was spent hearing about how amazing NYC is, how diverse NYC is, how "NYC is your campus," and how they have campuses in two other countries. I learned nothing that wasn't common knowledge or I could get from a quick google search of the school. I didn't get to see a dorm room, only saw one classroom, didn't get to see the library(although we did get to go inside of the hall leading up to the library as if that means anything), didn't even get to see a dining hall. I understand that the diversity, culture, and big city/big apple experience is an important selling point for the school, but it's also important to inform the people who went out of their way to visit your campus about clubs, ACADEMICS, teachers, dorms, and the things that actually matter. I went to that tour to become more informed so that I'd finally be able to 100% say that this is the school I want, but I left more confused, with a bunch of subjective "facts" of importance.

I love this school! Anything you'd come to New York for is within an arm's reach and that makes it the best place for when you invite family over.

Adjacent to the University is Washington Square Park with it's greens , benches and great people watching opportunities !!!

In the middle of the NYC. Would prefer a more enclosed campus than scattered buildings.

A university in a congested area of Manhattan.
A surprisingly elegant atmosphere creates a good academic group of buildings in the cityscape.
There is also a graduate school.

I only viewed it from the other sides. I see its very clean.Well policed.The students are always hard at work.

well well well well well well well well well well well well well
