About New York University

New York University (NYU) is a private research university founded in 1831 and centred around Washington Square in Greenwich Village, New York City. NYU is known for its urban campus model, large undergraduate and graduate enrolments, and a global network of academic sites. Students pursue programmes across arts and science, business, the arts, education, engineering, public service and numerous professional schools.

Undergraduate admission is selective and school-specific depending on the division you choose. Applicants should review requirements, testing policy and portfolio expectations where relevant on admissions.nyu.edu. NYU is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE). Living in New York City shapes housing, internship and cultural opportunities, so families should budget carefully for housing and living costs in addition to tuition.

A commonly cited main address is 70 Washington Square South, New York, NY 10012. Undergraduate admissions phone lines and visit details are published on NYU’s official admissions pages. Confirm deadlines, financial-aid forms and current cost of attendance on nyu.edu before applying. International students should verify English requirements, I-20 processes and school-specific conditions. Compare NYU’s school options carefully so your intended major maps to the correct undergraduate college. Relocating students should budget realistically for Manhattan housing and meal plans and compare school options inside NYU so majors map correctly. Confirm global site opportunities only after reviewing first-year residency and academic requirements. Prospective students and families should verify the latest tuition, housing costs, application deadlines, testing policy and financial-aid rules on the institution's official website for the intended entry year. Published third-party summaries can become outdated quickly. Keep academic transcripts, counsellor recommendations and identification documents organised early, and confirm any programme-specific prerequisites before submitting an application. Campus visits or official virtual sessions are useful for understanding teaching style, student support and residential life.
