If You Want a Sleepless City, Here You Go
It's located in the heart of Manhattan, accessible to all of the great parts that NYC has to offer. We're right by Times Square, a walk away from downtown SoHo and all it's charming boutiques and restaurants. There's always street festivals going on in Little Italy. If you're big on sports, there's always games every weekend at Madison Square Garden which is just a few blocks away!

Great Facilities Besides the Classrooms!
The facilities are often times old and needs updating. Such as the classrooms. Sure some rooms have smart boards and such but the projectors or chalk boards are old and rusty and could use some updating. However, it's not much of a hindrance. Although the computers the professors use in the classrooms always seem to have issues with freezing and not functioning properly. The new gym is super nice though! That's a very good thing. The library is like a fashion publication arcade which is awesome, and the fitness classes provided are great as well.

Can Definitely Be Pricey!
On campus dining is ideal for broke college students. You obviously have a prepaid meal plan so it is good. You get a good assortment: pizza, fresh cooked pasta, freshly made sandwiches, the grill with hamburgers, etc and a salad bar. But if you choose to dine off campus, you will need an income however small, because prices are quite up there unless you plan on eating fast food all the time. There are great options around though from Greek to Chinese with student discounts sometimes! Home On 8th is good for Chinese and Silom Thai is a great place for thai cuisine.
