NYU Tells Students to Brace For ‘Thousands of People’ at Bernie Rally

(NYU's campus sprawls around Washington Sq. Park and around Greenwich Village, mostly east of Fifth Ave. and up to 14th St.)

While a pro-Hillary pantsuit competition brews in Bushwick, NYU is warning its students that “thousands of people” are expected to attend a Bernie Sanders rally in Washington Square park at 6 p.m. on Wednesday. A campus-wide email from the school’s Vice President for Health advises that some streets in Greenwich Village will be closed off and the area will be crowded, but if you’re an NYU student wondering whether this means you get to miss class (or your shift at Bedford + Bowery) — sorry, no.

It's more like a bunch of buildings scattered around the area of Washington Square Park.

And I suspect the phrase "the area will be crowded" will turn out to be an understatement of epic, maybe even YUGE proportions!
