I’m a junior rn, and going to college in NYC and living there has been my dream for a very long time. At first, I was obsessed with NYU, but now that I’m not as naive, I understand that it’s much too expensive. I’m planning on going to another college, then transferring to NYU after two years. The thing is, I don’t want to go to a bad or mediocre college just because it’s in nyc, when I could go somewhere else that’s better. So I really need everyone’s most humble and honest opinion. Is it a big school, what’s the party scene like, is it worth it, is it a good STEM school (u/physics), should I go somewhere better, then transfer, is the food good (not rlly a dealbreaker for me), are the forms good, and how good is financial aid. Thank you. And if anyone knows good colleges for stem in nyc, please lmk!

I’ve wanted to go to NYU for as long as I can remember. But now that I’m not naive, I understand that even if I do get in, I probably won’t be able to attend due to the crazy expensive costs. Besides that, NYC is my dream, I want to live there, and I want to get away from my parents. But I don’t want to go to a bad school, just because it’s NYC. I really want to go to a good one, for STEM. I’m looking at CCNY, it seems great, but I can’t get over how NYU fit my vibe perfectly, and I’d do anything to go there. I also don’t know how good CCNY is, and I feel like a failure if I go to a public school. I sound like a dick, but it’s been engrained in my head for so long, I just don’t know what to do. Please help, and if you have any good recs for good colleges in NYC, please lmk.
