#2Surprising, given the amount of time it's taken to get to this point.
As a New Yorker myself, I'm not sure what I should think of it. Someone is going to make a campus, be it Cornell or NYU.

#3Too bad. I thought the Roosevelt Island renderings looked pretty cool.

Why not Columbia?

#6Sad. It would be refreshing to get some west-coast culture to NYC.

Surprising indeed. It seems strange that they would take the proposal this far before withdrawing for financial reasons, or fear of losing.
Surely there is a more interesting bone of contention here that didn't become evident until late in the process.

Doesn't NYU already have a "New York tech campus", since the merger with Brooklyn Poly and its subsequent rebranding as NYU's engineering school?

#9"we’re not exactly chomping at the bit to see New York squander its funding on students who spend their time building Star Wars simulations"
So, a New York based venture capitalist booster says that Stanford engineering students are "not tapped into the current tech scene", and ridicules that they know how to built robots.
Fascinating.
