Why don't you like NYU?

[thechoson]

Cause it's in NYC.

At least columbia is IVY

NYU Blows...A bunch of pretentious  assholes..
Even my friends that go there feel that way

[Cool Hand Luke]

I don't like Texas either, but shouldn't we spare Austin?

I don't like NYC either. Agree on NYU and Columbia (don't care about Ivy).

[thechoson]

Hmm... I wonder why LA doesn't have an NYU clone.

The best school here is Cal Tech

[M2]

NYU students always live in Columbia's shadow...I think that has something to do with it

[MaroonOut2005]

Its funny, I've always liked NYU over Columbia.  Not sure why.

Thanks and Gig 'Em,

agreed. plus, columbia is in harlem, so it helps keep the kids a little grounded in reality

I hate snobby little rich kids.

There are a *&^% load of little Chinese kids from Hong Kong here, that went to USC on their parents' money, and now roll around in BMWs without jobs.

Chicago          pro: prestige, clerkships    con: cold, neighborhood
Michigan       pro: college town, quality    con: you're in Michigan
Virginia        pro: quality, COL   con: you're in small-town VA
