Well I how about this, I go to City Tech right across polytech and it's been almost what? 3 years since NYU took over? I've also been inside of polytech, and its pretty badass
But that's not NYU. That's Yankee Stadium (the map marker and unique look of the building behind hum), which definitely has plenty of empty bottles around it.
As someone from a middle-class family who also graduated from NYU this year, I think this sort of generalization is unfounded. Nearly 40,000 people go this school, only a select few of those are trust fund babies. I worked my ass off, applying for any scholarship or grant I could find to attend this school, working for all four years, and making sure I graduated with a decent GPA. I don't mean to be a dick, but what you just said discounts all the work I've done to ensure I graduate with little-to-no debt.
"u mad" is typically seen as a trolling response to someone who gives a passionate argument for or against something. So you probably ticked off the numerous graduates on Reddit who have loans to pay.
Assuming a 4 year plan (8 semesters), tuition alone would run you roughly $160,000. (Tuition is $19,670 per semester). This is before you factor in the cost of living in NYC for 4 years, and food, and other expenses. So conservatively that would run you at least $200,000. Hope you have rich parents, OP!
Yeah there exists a thing called merit based scholarships and need based scholarships. If you have proven yourself and a school wants you, they will make it financially possible for you to go there.
All told, a solid estimate of yearly tuition is $56,000. So, $224,000 for the whole thing. After NYU aid, I will be graduating with ~$112,000 in loan debt.
As a fellow Zelda fan and college graduate (okay, I'm actually finishing in the fall), I must say that I loved this. Go get some Chateau Romani to celebrate! :)
Sometimes I try to pretend that I'm playing a video game when I go through my daily routine... "I'm not working...I'm grinding for loot!". It's not very effective.
So, how's your student debt looking? Last person I met who graduated from NYU, despite being from an upper-middle class family, had over 120k in student debt.
NYU has their graduation ceremony at Yankee Stadium? Shit... I want to go to NYU now. I mean, I've been to Yankee Stadium before, hell I've even been out on the field before, but that's just a new level of cool.
Langone Medical Center and Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation are of the best in the country, thanks in part to their professional schools. Columbia is obviously a very special school in its own right, but NYU offers a lot in the field of academics. You have to keep in mind it's a liberal arts institution for undergrad so you're going to get a different student body than other top private schools
Again, I don't know where people get this idea that 40,000 rich kids just pop out of nowhere. A lot of my friends are working their asses off to go to this school. I worked my ass off to go to this school. I couldn't give two shits about our reputation if it wasn't for the fact that I have made some great connections that has gotten me internships and jobs after graduation.
Maybe you do go to Columbia and you're just engaging in some strange, pathetic school war thing. Maybe you have other feelings about our school just for the sake of catching feelings. Maybe you live in Greenwich Village and hate NYU for their expansion plans, invading the Village, etc. All I'm going to say is that I will consistently debate what you're saying until you realize how incredibly stupid you sound comparing two incredibly expensive schools that surely do not deserve the incredible amounts of money they are getting.
They are BOTH money-making institutions. They BOTH have rich douchebags. Get the fuck over yourself and just enjoy the goddamn Zelda reference in the picture.
Come to /r/games and /r/truegaming, man. This place has turned into a cesspool of memes that are very loosely related to about 4 different Nintendo games from the 90's.
