Does New School university have a bad reputation

Does New School university have a bad reputation?
I've heard mixed reviews about this school. For someone who is seriously considering attending a top university (Yale for example) for their graduate education (PhD), is New School a good choice for an undergrad or Masters degree? While I've heard many Professors say that it's not really considered a university with a good reputation, I've heard some say that it is.......

Well I personally consider it to be very respectable. It's a very liberal arts type school, known more for humanities/social sciences than math/science. Most of the people who think lowly of it are the type of people who believe that any liberal arts college is a joke and that only top colleges are worthy of their interest. I wouldn't pay much attention to them. It's considered a respectable college by most, and it's pretty well known nationally. It all depends on what program you're doing. A certain program may be better at New School than Yale, or vice versa. You can't just look at the college as a whole, as a college is really just a collection of small schools (journalism school, allied health school, school of education, etc.) and each one is different in every way.
