NYU Accelerated BSN Spring 2011

U.S.A. New York

Published

Hi everybody,

I just got my boat rocked this morning when I received my acceptance letter to NYU's spring 2011 program. That is so soon! I live in San Francisco and I can't imagine how different life will be in a few short months if I go there.

I'm hoping I can get some advice from people who have gone through the program before, or anyone who has researched it. My questions are below:

1. I have heard that the program is a little disorganized because it is so new. Did you feel well prepared and guided. How was the workload? Challenging but relevant, I hope.

2.Is it possible to work on the weekends? I also have a boyfriend that I love mucho, but will be leaving in San Francisco. In terms of schedule and workload, will I be able to visit him on the weekends? Is there any vacation time to spend with him?

3. I'm assuming that cost of living is outrageous in NY. Where are the best places to live and how do you find them? Is craigslist the usual route?

4. Overall impressions of the school, the staff, and living in NY would be greatly appreciated!! I know it will be challenging but exactly how stressful is it? Do you feel supported?

I have to give a deposit in 2 weeks!! I'm freaking out because I won't have heard from the other schools I have applied to yet. It would be way to risky to turn down NYU hoping I get into a school here in SF, Samuel Merritt. Oh life!

hello! I have also recently found out that I have been accepted to the absn, look forward to meeting everyone soon :)

Congrats to everyone that was accepted, I look forward to meeting you all in the fall. For those looking to find a place to live here is a resource:

They recently did their issue on apartment hunting in the 5 boroughs and you can read up about it on their website. By no means are these the cheapest apartments you can find but its a good start to gauge how much each neighborhood is charging and if you simply have no time to do the detective work you might just need to use this guide. If you don't have much money to spare your best bets are bushwick-sunset park brooklyn or Upper manhattan in the 100's. If you have the time, craigslist is the best source i have found to find apartments on the cheap.

When did those of you who got accepted submit your app? I submitted mine in September and I have yet to hear anything :mad:

I submitted mine in mid September and found out first week in November.

Hello Everyone,

I found out today via email that I got accepted into the program. They said I would receive my packet sometime next week. I'm from San Diego and moving to NYC seems unreal to me. I'm just really worried about the housing situation. It would be wonderful to room with someone who is also in the program. Let me know if anyone is interested. Congrats to those who are in the program and Good Luck to those waiting to hear from them.

After numerous phone calls and an email, I was told on Friday that they finished reviewing my application and I should get a letter this week. :confused:

Just wondering for those who are out of state. Who signed up for on campus living?

Hi everyone! My name is Jen and I just got my acceptance letter. I really need to find housingggg!!

Have you found anyone to room with? I am looking for someone who is in the program as well....

Hey everyone, does anyone know how financing an accelerated bachelors works for an individual who is independent status (in terms of loans)? I was thinking of applying to this program for Fall 2011, but I wanted to get a gist of how the financing works beforehand.
