University description (as per official university website)
The New York University was founded in 1831 by Albert Gallatin.
The center of NYU is its Washington Square campus in the heart of Greenwich Village. One of the city's most creative and energetic communities, the Village is a historic neighborhood that has attracted generations of writers, musicians, artists, and intellectuals. Beyond the Village, New York City becomes an extension of the University's campus.
Enrollment in the undergraduate divisions of the University ranges between 100 and 6,500. While some introductory classes have large numbers of students, many classes are small. With more than 2,500 courses offered, the University awards more than 25 different degrees.
In addition to the schools and colleges in Manhattan, the University operates branch campus programs in Westchester County at Manhattanville College and in Rockland County at St. Thomas Aquinas College. Certain of the University's research facilities, notably the Nelson Institute of Environmental Medicine, are located in Sterling Forest, near Tuxedo, New York. Although overall the University is large, the divisions are small- to moderate-sized units—each with its own traditions, programs, and faculty.
New York University has taken the lead in negotiating with major U.S. lending institutions via a competitive bidding process to offer supplemental education financing to NYU students from around the world. In selecting among those lenders who participate in the competitive bidding process, New York University favors the lender(s) who offer the most loan eligibility for the greatest number of students.
tudents may apply for a loan once they have been admitted to New York University. When the loan application form, evidence of admission to NYU, and required financial documents are reviewed and approved by the lender, the student borrower will receive a conditional notice directly from the lender. (The loan will be conditional upon actual enrollment at NYU.) |
