Let's be fair. These are hard-working though naive kids, who may not know that they are being horribly exploited in their volunteerism: not only in helping to exploit a new crop of exploited, but by attending NYU agreeing to pay a high price just to live in the city in a protected environment.

ReplyDeleteNYC does not welcome you? What a jerk - I'd like to schedule your departure- such disdain and.contempt- these are freshman for gods sake- your schedule is just being bitter- why don't you people hold.a seminar the history and culture.of.the hood? If its important- but your.schedule has you asleep by 9-so that can't happen - post a pic of.nonwhite kids and see.what comments you get
ReplyDelete@3:37 Are. You available. To teach. A. Class. On your creative use of the. Period?
ReplyDeleteYeah my heart bleeds for the affluent white young adults.
ReplyDeleteDid any of you have a chance to do silly stupid things when you were young or were you always a jaded hateful donkey?
ReplyDeleteWhat freaks me out is the thought that those little tykes in the photo might be the RAs or something.
ReplyDelete@3:37 Meghan you sound angry. Get some fro-yo in a hoof, you'll feel better.
ReplyDeleteIt's not worth responding to the churls here.
ReplyDeleteNYU students don't want to know the "history and culture.of.the hood" they want the suburban experience, hence the references to all the chain stores. I pray you're not one of them cause you're sa-low.
ReplyDeleteI hope Jerry the Peddler will give some walking tours of the hood this semester—and that curious students will take them.

"It's not worth responding to the churls here", because you can't.
On a serious note: While we all enjoy making fun of the flood of rude incoming students and newbies and their loud rooftop parties, it seems that every year there is another tragedy from all the wild parties that take place at the end of the summer.
ReplyDeleteLast night on Sullivan Street, another young woman fell to her death while dancing at a rooftop party in Greenwich Village. We hope and pray that these rooftop parties end, and that incoming students and others stay safe.
NY Post: Partying MoMA intern ‘brain-dead’ after dancing off roof
An intern at the Museum of Modern Art literally danced to her doom while partying on a rooftop in Greenwich Village early Sunday.
The 23-year-old was swaying to the music when she tripped, lost her balance and plummeted four stories to the ground at 1:10 a.m., police sources said.
Sources and friends identified her as Cindy Yeh of Brooklyn. She’s originally from San Jose, Calif., and had been working as an intern at MoMA, according to social-media profiles and friends.
She appears to be brain-dead at Bellevue Hospital, authorities said.
Investigators are trying to determine if she had jumped up, onto or near a ledge before falling from the Sullivan Street townhouse.

And today is the garbage pickup day from the move in. The loud and smelly truck got here at 6:40am and as of 7:55am it is still here being loud and smelly. NYU wonders why they have a bad rep in the hood?
ReplyDeleteGarbage in. Garbage out.
