Usage notes

Founded by Albert Gallatin and other New Yorkers as a nonsectarian alternative to Columbia, NYU has no traditional enclosed campus; its purple flags mark buildings across lower Manhattan. Its Stern School of Business and Grossman School of Medicine, which went tuition-free in 2018, are well known. Pronounced as letters.
