In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
You need to get student life organized, and the night life too, for a better overall social enviroment. On top, you need to professionalize the lessons... we are too far from concrete

Final comments
You can wait for two weeks and try some lessons out before your final decisions, so use this advantage. Try to ask to be in the condos, they are great and the best are the south east village, with a kitchen at disposal for all student (stove...). Great to cook real european cheap food. Be open minded and creat your own community. All single events on campus are very important because otherwise it gets very boring. Trains are working all night and cabs are not too expensive, so you can go to NY. If you rent a car, you can have all your lessons on two days.... otherwise split it on every days... and take some sport lessons too...
