"There's no better program in my field, but it is sure expensive and has almost no financial support for international students."

"I think there is a lot of value in the degree, but some of the professors are hit or miss. The program is definitely you get out of it what you put into it."

"The General Psychology M.A. program at NYU is one of, if not THE best in the country for it's foci. The program includes some of the most well-known professors in the world, and these professors are available to provide insight and guidance for student's success and growth in the field. Unfortunately, NYU is located in one of the most expensive cities in the world, and as a private institution, it requires a hefty tuition fee be paid. This makes it a little difficult to focus entirely on attaining one's graduate degree, however it will surely be worth it in the end!"

"The program is one of a kind and very hard to compare to others. You get to work with many different faculty and visiting artists. Be sure to plan ahead because the 1yr MA program goes by very quickly."

"I really enjoyed attending NYU for my Graduate work. It was amazing to live in Manhattan. It was an amazing atmosphere in which to learn about theatre. However, the program was still coming into it's own. It's very expensive. And there were some things that I expected of a Masters program that simply were missing. But I don't regret it for a second. It was great. Very flexible people to work with and create my class schedule."

"The most valuable part of my graduate education has been the school's connections to outside agencies and resources. They are well-established in the social-work world and have high-quality internships. The professors are top-of-the-line (I often find myself reading for class and recognizing the name of the author as one of our professors). The biggest drawback has been the lack of academic rigor. While I do feel I am learning through my experiences and discussions, I find the workload to be too easy and I feel I'd be absorbing a lot more if I had to work a little harder for it"

"I think the program, Performance Studies, is the best in the world, and I will be able to learn what I hope. In addition, the surroundings which the school has is good for students in art field to get inspired. Moreover, there are diversity students from all over the world, which means I can broaden my eyes with social activities in New York University. However, the tuition is a little expensive with the living cost. As an international student, there are some limitation to get scholarships and part-time jobs. Although I can have many opportunities in pursuing my goal in New York University, but there is a disadvantage in that international students should expense cost a lot."
