What are good colleges in new york city?

Question

what are good colleges in new york city? i would like to go to school with a campus in greenich village...but i will take anything...i just would like to know of some good schools in the city. other than NYU!

Answer 1

You already know NYU dominates here in the west village.  But Parsons/New School of Design and FIT have campuses/buildings in or near the village.  Cooper Union, mostly known for its engineering program, has a great spot on Astor place in the east village.

Many of the schools the posters listed have campuses all over the city including the off village location.  

Good luck!  It's a blast to go to college here!

Answer 2

Columbia University could probably be considered pretty good, being an Ivy League school and all. Other than that, Hunter College has a good reputation as a liberal arts college. A bit further out and usually forgotten is Fordham University in the Bronx...very good school.

Answer 3

The New School is located in Greenwich Village.

Other major Manhattan-based colleges (but not in the Village) include Barnard, Columbia, Hunter, Baruch, Yeshiva.

In the Bronx, Fordham and Manhattan (yes, Manhattan is in the Bronx!).

Brooklyn:  Brooklyn College

Queens:  Queens, LIU, St Johns U

Staten Island:  Wagner, College of SI

This is only a partial list, giving some of the better schools, as NYC has over 50 colleges.  You need to specify a major to really pick one.

Answer 4

pace university, baruch college , hunter college, john jay college, fordham univeristy but thats not in manhattan
