What impressed you positively?
Technology is top notch. Cafeteria, student lounge, lecture hall, and every other facility at NYU is new.
What impressed you negatively?
Class size. elevators (stopping at every floor for many floors gets pretty annoying)
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I arrived ~20 minutes early to the lobby of the building where the interviews took place. The security guard did not allow interviewers to go past the lobby to the elevators till the exact time of the interview (he was just being rude). I had to pretend to use the bathroom on the other side of the lobby and sneak past him to get seated early for the interview upstairs. Some other students who had no courage stuck around the lobby till the exact time and were, consequently, the last to interview.
What are your general comments?
Went well. Asked obvious questions. NYU wants people who want to go there. They don't want the feeling they're considered as your safety school, so don't give them that feeling.
