Exams are ridiculous, but he curves. He teaches well but if you want to get an A in this class you will need to devote your life to it

University Reviews

It is exactly what you will expect. NYC, tons going on. Great place, worthwhile

even with all the bad news there is so much opportunity and everything else is at least solid

this university is great but needs to fix a lot of things.

Nothing truly surprising to report - simply that the school pretends to be something that it's not.

The cs department for women was a joke. They offer resume writing help but no job placement. Took four years to get an entry level underpaid position in the field. The social life is wonderful, and you have endless opportunity to be involved in Jewish community and self development. Bio is world class and involved in progressive research.

Great school and many options to choose. The best connections for life are here.

Go on Shabbaton's, do extra-curricular activities, go to parties, go into the city and do things outside of schoolwork to make your experience more enjoyable.

I think you get the same education in a cuny school like baruch college, hunter college, queens college or city college.

Jewish studies is mandatory but there are many options and many great way to enjoy Jewish studies one may have never thought is possible. YU truly caters to people who want to play any sport or people who want to be in Manhattan and utilize the great companies in NYC that Yeshiva amazing connections of alumni are working in all industries.

its what you make of it

Very happy here. You need to be proactive if you're going to get your money's worth, but that's true everywhere. You can take a joke major and fool around in an Ivy League school just as easily as anywhere else. If you deliberately capitalize on the opportunities you have you can get a lot out of YU.

Amazing school- will not regret your decision to come here!

There's a Yeshiva and a University in this school. They are not at all one. You need to choose your friends wisely because it is easy to feel safe here (from a religious growth standpoint), but if you don't actively try to grow, you will inevitably fall behind.

Its YU, so no one can ever be in love with it, but overall YU is a great but tough college. Flexibility is there to help ease the dual program and YU does offer amazing financial scholarships. Overall I'm proud to go to YU despite the hardships and perhaps lack of social life. NYC can make up for that
