drunk post

I was thinking, I am a student. By occupation, as much I like to ignore it, I am a student. And students, especially college students, form a well-educated, strong constituency. We are smart, we can vote, we arre at the point in our lives when we learn to think for ourselves (don't tell me you didn't se e Dead Poets' Society). We influence national trends, we influence the high schoolers nationwide coming after us.

Here is NYU, this gigantic institution that rides entirely on our backs. Wihtout us, NYU wouldn't exist. But with financial aid, film insurance, admission, housing, work-study, classes, even laundry (goddamned Fordham gets free laundry), NYU is a university that doesn't look out for its fucking students. And all we do is complain to eachother, never to the people that can do something. So many people leave NYU discontented and bitter towards their shitty experience with the school. Why are we so apathetic?

And i may be silly drunk right now, as witnessed bythe deteriorating typing, but this isn't fair. Students used to band together and now, it's what? To each his own?

This of course is not to mention the way NYU gobbles up prodigious amounts of real estate in Manhattan and more recently, Brooklyn. I have a few of friends at NYU and you make a good point.
