r/nyu

Im a current 11th grader right now in NYC and ive been planning what colleges to go into. I was recently accepted to NYU STEP (fee waivers fully covered) and ill be attending classes at the actual campus for the school year (its starting next week) and ive been to washington square park before with my parents and i love the whole vibes of it. The area is pretty calm, the whole events that happen within the middle especially the yearly festivals which ive been to for 2 years now and the actual buildings near it is so cool. Im considering either majoring in comp sci or comp eng (my ecs are mainly in comp sci but i have a few that are eng related with decent/good stats). Im leaning more towards comp eng since ill have the opportunity to both code stuff and work on physical hardware. The job market for comp eng majors is supposidly very well compared to comp sci majors. And I believe (might be wrong) that its less selective compared to CAS since there are way more people interested in comp sci compared to comp eng.

I havent been to metrotech at all since its not an area that i ever needed to go for anything and looking at images online, its so quiet and lifeless? It doesn't have the whole festivals, the random street preformers, and not many people there. I saw on a diff post that most tandon students move to the washington square park campuses and do most activities there. I would like to have most classes in washington square park but at the same time idk how would I do a comp eng major if all eng majors are in tandon and most if not almost all my classes would be at tandon.

What is best option and more advice on this?

i wanna go to tisch drama and I'm submitting regular as of rn, if i need a scholarship (and I want a full ride yk a girl can dream) i should do regular right?

I'm an international student btw so unfortunately I don't know much about scholarships

Anyone know where to get courant merch? Not the ones with the courant logo from the bookstore but ones with the math symbols that makes up the word “courant” if u know what I’m talking about. Thx!

“Hello, Chelsea…”
Whenever I wanted to call my Dad, I had to connect through Bonnie.
It was a normal part of my childhood.
Always the same burnt-out, raspy, voice.
“Hello, Chelsea…”
Apparently, Bonnie was a showgirl back in the fifties…but by then it was the nineties.
She sounded like a woman who never bothered to breathe clean oxygen.
Just cigarette smoke in… cigarette smoke out…
Only years later did I realize this was not a normal childhood.
Most kids were not patched through switchboard at the Chelsea Hotel when they wanted to speak to their father.
Sure. A lot of you know the hotel. Many of you’ll say: “The place where Sid Vicious stabbed Nancy.”
And you’d be right.
It’s too bad that little footnote in punk rock history looms so large.
Patti Smith’s book Just Kids looms large, too. (You should read it.)
But most people don’t know:
-When built in 1889, the Chelsea was the tallest building in Manhattan… just 12 stories.
-The neighborhood of Chelsea is named after the hotel — not vice versa.
-The night the Titanic survivors arrived in New York City, they slept at the Chelsea.

Does anyone who’s taken MCB1 have any past recitation answer keys or past exams/ practice exams? I want to get some more practice but I’m struggling on finding more material. Thanks!
