New York University

New York University (NYU) is where Tyler, Ally and Aidan attended college. While Ally and Aidan were registered as full students, Tyler was just auditing classes until he could decide where he wanted to go in life.

Founded in 1831, NYI is one of the largest private universities in the United Sates. Modeled after the University of London, the first trustees of the school wanted to set up a university that admitted young men based on merit and not on political or social standing. Turned down for funds by the city and state for funds, they raised the $100,000 needed to start the school privately. NYU held it's first classes in rented rooms in the Clinton Hall in 1832 and opened it's first professional school, The School of Law in 1835.

Today, NYU consists of 18 schools, colleges and institutions and the main campuses are located in six centers around Manhattan and Brooklyn with other centers sprinkled across the world. Over 43,000 students are currently enrolled at NYU in one capacity or another.
