NYU

NYU is the educational opportunity Landon has worked toward and is preparing to pursue, but a breakup leaves him uncertain about whether to follow through. The conversation presents the university chiefly as a concrete future plan whose value he weighs against the personal disruption surrounding his departure.

Landon’s Plans

Landon is due to leave for NYU in about two weeks. He says he has worked hard to get in and has already enrolled in summer classes, making the move more than a tentative possibility: preparations are underway, and abandoning them would feel like wasting that effort.

The Decision in Doubt

After announcing his breakup, Landon admits that going now seems both wasteful to forgo and pointless to pursue. Tessa advises him not to go, anticipating awkwardness after the breakup. Landon counters that New York City is large enough that they are unlikely to run into each other and says they can remain friends. The exchange leaves his decision unresolved; it shows the personal uncertainty attached to NYU, not whether he ultimately attends.
