NYC has more undergraduate and graduate students than Boston has people."

New York City colleges and universities have become powerful magnets for talent and an excellent generator of new jobs.

Recently the City approved expansion plans for Columbia and Fordham campuses and the planned tech campus on Roosevelt Island by Cornell University.

Applications for admission are being accepted for the “beta” class of computer science students at Cornell NYC Tech, the new world-class applied sciences campus in New York City. This first class of full-time students will begin in January 2013, pursuing a one-year Cornell Master of Engineering degree in computer science. Applications for the small and highly selective beta class are due on October 1, 2012. The program will be housed at the temporary campus location in Chelsea, in space donated by Google. In 2017, the campus will move to its permanent home on Roosevelt Island. Information about the program and the application procedure for prospective students is available online at http://tech.cornell.edu/.

The latest approval is New York University’s 2031 development plan.

NYU Expansion

For the 20-year project, NYU will develop more than 1.9 million square feet which will provide necessary space for classrooms and other educational facilities, a new athletic facility, study areas, performance and theater spaces, faculty office and research space as well as student and faculty housing.

The project calls for open space enhancements, including making the Sasaki Garden accessible to the public, and early commitments to build public spaces on Bleecker Street and LaGuardia Place. Plans also include a commitment to convert a 6,000 square feet of existing space in Washington Square Village to accommodate a community use.

The University’s expansion will add to this economic impact by creating an estimated 18,200 construction job as well as 2,600 long-term employment opportunities.

NYU’s 2031 development plan is another example of enhancements made by universities to attract top-notch brainpower that in turn will benefit our great city.

The NYU plan allows for growth on its own property while maintaining the neighborhood character of Greenwich Village.

To all the new undergraduate and graduate students entering NYC, I wish you all great success.

Thanks Roger, There was an article in The Boston Globe recently titled NY vs Boston The End Game.

Here is a quote:

"They’ve dwarfed us in size, eclipsed us in culture, and dominated us on the diamond. And now they’re coming for the one thing we have left: our smarts."

That's amazing, Mitchell. But, I guess with a population of 8-10 million people (depending on the day of the week), it makes sense that student numbers would be so high.  I wonder how many folks who live in  the tri-state area, who commute to NYC for work, have their children attend school in the City.... hmmm.

The links between a well developed educational infrastructure and a strong local economy are many and certainly worthy of our support.

Hi Gabe, Thanks for the re-blog

Peggy, While you have to live in NYC to attend NYC public schools, NYC also has some of the finest private schools that attract students from the tri-state area.

Hi Michael, The final expansion plan that was approved took 5 years and was whittled down by opponents to 26 percent slimmer than the original plan.

Hi Phil, Thanks, I folowed the link. Great video...New York, New York it's a wonderful town.

Vanessa, Thanks. I agree. it's difficult to expand an urban campus because of the limited space and the neighbor's concerns.

Mitchell.....Because I like you, I will let that comment about Boston go!  LOL!  Seriously though, I did not know that fact but it makes sense.  Much as I love Boston, NYC is great too!

Hi Christine, I like you and Boston too! There has always been a friendly rivalry since both towns were colonies. Because our mayor is from Boston I think he likes to point out that fact.

I had no idea about that...I always thought about Boston and Colleges.  Oh, and I love On the Town.  Congrats on the feature.

BTW, you could do a post about all the movies in NYC (and another on the TV shows).
