The book store from NYU is near Washington Square (you can ask where to go in any university building). They sell books and NYU clothes and other merchandising. Very interesting.

As someone else pointed out, it is a well-regarded school, especially for certain departments/schools like its law school, but there isn't much to see as far as sights go.

NYU is a good school to go to as a student but really not designed for tourists. We're not sure if they do proper tourist tours here but the only way we found for getting a tour is to pretend like we were prospective student.

This is a great environment and if you can "catch a show" in the park, all the better, sometimes singers, guitar players or a dancer can catch your eye.

I would highly recommend people to take a tour of this great university in this great city. I am currently attending the NYU masters program for global affairs in the Woolworth building and the experience so far has been great.

Washington Square is pretty amazing any time of the day, and the shear size of the university is breathtaking, it occupies a large part of the city and its enormity is something to behold.
