If it wasn't already called Washington Square Park, it would called NYU Park, as the campus almost completely surrounds it. Made up of multiple buildings and dorm housings, it also has a ton of restaurants and small businesses surrounding it.
It's a great institution, but their alumni are often saddled with massive debt. But hey, it's an awesome school. If you have money, it's definitely worth it to live in NYC, party, and go to school. Their programs are top-notch.
It is a great place to learn educational opportunities, and I have met with people who are eager to achieve further education. The restroom area was fantastic!
Student workers and Employees here are not treated fairly because of the building's manager/director. There are a lot of incidents where xenophobic, racist words and behavior are used on student and employee. One full time employee was recently fired because she was speaking in Spanish with another full time employee in the building.
The know-it-all building director did not only make most employee felt trapped inside this building, it also made events significantly not organized with very dated room and equipment that resemble early 2000s. A lot of long term (~10 years+) employees are considering to leave the building because of the unfair treatment.
Student worker turnover rate is significantly high under poor leadership. It is common to see student workers depressed and unmotivated. The director also controlled and stopped student from forming its union to gain protection and help. With the unfair and sweatshop-like work ethics, I do not recommend this place for ANY event.
