Save the hate for Bressonalike, guys.

Bressonalike - strange;
like leaves on the wind, this term
eludes my mind's blade.

It speaks to a whole NYU-student-type demographic who just bother me intensely.


I don't think it's fair to generalize like that. If I were to generalize about your college, I'd have this picture of guys wearing old sweat pants and who have more hair on their backs than heads by 21, but I know that's just a stereotype.

Breaks my heart to say; your judgment skewers the truth like a swift arrow!

Hardly suprising, given the hate GQ gets around here ?

Nah, the comment is way off. She's very friendly. And if you've been following my thread in SuperFuture's SuperMarket, I've been a big part of the "buying jeans like they're collectors items" comment thanks to my proxy service.

I think this topic should just be renamed to 'why I hate university'. Campuses the world over are plagued with tiresome, pretentious tryhard style, not just NYU.

I like the whole thing- hair and all. No, the color isn't 'flattering' but it works with the look; I AM tired of those half-mullet, half what-some-ever cuts though. I like the color of the hair with the color of the jacket especially. You don't see too many people on the streets of NYC looking this colorful so it's a nice change for me.

Now to give my NYU rant (which will mean nothing to anyone who doesn't live in the East Village). I HATE NYU, they have ruined my view of the Empire State building and other landmarks with there hideous dorm building they're constructing and I've never forgiven them for taking away the Palladium

Pic was taken outside NYU, so I put 2 & 2 together. But you are absolutely correct - I guess it's part of "college experimentation."

Speaking of which, I was talking to a (lady) friend of mine who is an NYU graduate. She said that when she was there, upwards of 60%!!! of the guys there are gay!

Is that really true??? Seems awfully high. Although it would give this thread a new, horrible, horrible life!

The art program is definitely over 70% gay. Perhaps even more depending on the type of art. General population is definitely not that homosexual.

From the girls I've talked to who go there and who have said that there are essentially no prospects in the entire student population because almost everyone is gay, I wouldn't agree. This is second hand information, but they stated to me many times how much it sucks that for heterosexual dating, NYU isn't much of an option for them.

It would be a shame if an entire population of nubile co-eds were forced into entertaining undergrad bisexual experimentation.

I ... I have to go now.

As a NYU undergrad, and soon to be Alum, I can tell you that this is not true. The girls that say this are either 1) no prize to begin with, 2) not looking hard enough, or 3) just aren't looking.
