NYU has a reputation for world-class academics with an international flair. In fact, the 27,000+ undergraduates situated in Greenwich Village include the highest number of international students of any school in the U.S. As well as the greatest number of students who elect to study abroad as part of the college experience. It’s no wonder that between 1991 and 2000, applications to NYU rose 300% and the acceptance rate declined from 65% to 29%.
