#asknyu

hi my friend and are coming to nyu in the fall of 2014!!! we've gone to the same high school for all four years and i was wondering if there was maybe a chance we'd be roomed together? or should we request to room together? or is it just a no?? haha thank you so much

q: sadly, you won't be able to room with your friend--roommates your first year are assigned for you, but that doesn't mean you necessarily have to lead entirely separate lives! if you two are interested in the same residence halls, you can denote similar rankings on your housing application, and if exploration floors are also something you're willing to pursue--and i encourage you to do so!--you can apply for the same ones to potentially be placed on the same floor.

also remember that, regardless of how close you two do or don't live to each other, you can still see each other regularly! you can explore new york or check out various campus events and extracurriculars together, and plus, there are a lot of inter-residence hall events and groups that you can check out, like the FYRE olympics and IRHC.

Is washington square park really like a quad? Like how often do students study/ hang out there and are there always a lot of students in the park?

q: it's not a quad in the sense that it's not owned by nyu, and while a significant portion of the buildings around it are, there are many that aren't. it's also public property, falling under the nyc parks department, so while there are tons of nyu students who frequent it, there are just as many non-nyu individuals there as well.

that said, because of the location, it's often full of students in addition to everyone else, and you're likely to find plenty there at any given time. oftentimes when the weather is nice, professors will hold class out there, and a lot of students head out there to read. (i've even seen some on laptops from time to time!)

it's also a great place to meet up with people or hang out--i know it's something i still do a lot! whether it's going for a walk and hanging out and talking, or going to lie out during the warmer days, wsp is a hotspot for students, new yorkers, and tourists alike.

Hi! I've been recently accepted to NYU. Am I allowed to pick wether I'm in a double, triple, or single?

q: your first year, you won't be able to choose what kind of room you're in; instead, a room and roommate will be assigned for you, though you will be able to rank your residence hall preferences. you can also indicate if you're interested in low-cost housing, which is available in both doubles and triples. to my knowledge, there are very few freshman singles. the only ones i know about are in brittany, and happen if you're sharing a suite with your RA.

My nyu email address hasn't come through (I've been accepted ed1) but everyone on the Facebook group says theirs came like two weeks ago. Are they usually emailed out to our regular email accounts? And who do you think I should contact about this - and honestly who should I contact about any questions I have, because I figured the admissions office wouldn't be right now that I've been admitted...help!!!

I was just on Albert today (I've recently been admitted) and on my checklist of stuff the admissions office needs to see, it says final high school transcript. Basically, I graduated last year and I'm currently on a gap year, so the transcript my school sent them is my final transcript bc I've left school and it showed all my final grades. It also has the name of my school completely wrong; it thinks I attended this other high school which is like down the road from my actual one but yeah, help?

How do I apply to be a Summer RA? I'm a freshman now, am I eligible?

Is there a way to pick a certain residence hall and even a certain room number if you get accepted ed?

anounymous asked:

If I apply ed to nyu tisch and get in does that mean that I would find out who my roommate is and be able to move in earlier than the regular admission students?

I'm currently studying in state at Indiana university because I can't afford nyu's tuition! I really wanted to take some film classes at tisch so do you think I could study abroad at nyu for a year? instead of an exotic place like Australia, I'd rather be absorbing as much as I can from one of the best film schools!

q: i definitely feel that! you can check out tisch's special programs for visiting students website for information on studying at tisch for the fall or spring semester, as well as a list of required and elective courses for doing so. they have information on doing a fall, spring, or summer semester at tisch, and i know you're interested in doing a year, so i'd definitely look into the opportunities listed and potentially reach out to the program director(s) to see if those courses of study can be extended or modified to fit what you're looking for.
