Rating 3.58 out of 5 653 reviews
The New School was a creative hub that drew in different types of people all on their own journeys. Due to the nature of the Greenwich Village campus, student life/socializing was lackluster, and there was little community organizing. I felt liberated in the open-ended curriculum but also not set up to join the work force.
Receiving an education in the most vibrant and dynamic city in the world is an unmatchable experience and this university matches New Yorks energy perfectly. While it does have its flaws it is an amazing school with a very strong and passionate community.
My experience at The New School has been great overall. I've learned a lot from the professors, who genuinely care about their students and invest time in ensuring that everyone understands the material. However, I've faced a significant issue with financial aid. I wish the school would provide more assistance to students who are struggling to pay and proactively communicate any potential issues beforehand. Instead, students find out about the issue much later and have to run in circles trying to figure out things, inducing more stress.
