New York University (NYU) is a private research university located in New York City. Founded in 1831, it is one of the largest private universities in the United States. Unlike public institutions, NYU does not receive direct funding from state governments and relies on tuition, donations, and endowments for operations.
As a private university, NYU has greater autonomy in setting tuition fees, curriculum, and admissions policies. It is known for its urban campus, global programs, and prestigious schools like the Tisch School of the Arts and the Stern School of Business.
