Hey everyone,

I'm a recent college grad and will be hosting in-person discussions and debates on thought-provoking current events, culture, and big-picture questions. I'm looking for students who enjoy discussing different viewpoints and are comfortable being recorded. Does anyone know the best way to connect with students who might be interested? Are there any RSOs, clubs, or campus contacts you'd recommend reaching out to?

I checked rate my prof about these professors but it wasn’t too helpful I’m really trying to maintain a 4.0 gpa this fall and I wanted to know how you guys did it for professor geggier/halpin and professor Plavskin

My brother accepted his spot off the waitlist to NYU Stern yesterday. His admission letter says he has to do his first two years at the Shanghai campus though.

Not an issue, but I wanted to know how common this was because I could not find any instance of this happening to anyone else. he will get a degree from the NYC campus but I wanted to know if this was out of the ordinary

Wondering what you all think about me going back to school at NYU to get a bachelors of science/arts in mathematics after completing a doctorate and working in health professions for 2 years.

Thanks.

Alright, this is probably the most vulnerable thing I’ve ever posted, but I’m honestly out of options.

I was supposed to graduate this spring, but I had one required course left that I needed to retake. I’m currently waiting on my final grades to find out if I passed and can graduate. I was able to use financial aid, loans, and a graduation grant to stay in NYU housing through the first summer session, but I have to move out this weekend.

The problem is that I have nowhere to go.
I’m originally from Texas, but returning home isn’t an option. My family experienced an eviction, and my mom is currently living in a homeless shelter. I don’t have any family I can stay with, i’m the oldest it’s just me and her my step sisters live w their step father (not mine), or a stable place to return to.

I’ve been applying for jobs every day for months. Before anyone says I’m not trying hard enough, I promise I am. I’ve sent out countless applications and have just been getting rejection after rejection.

I’ve looked into sublets (Snag, Ohana, Facebook groups, etc.), but they have been a bust, no responses back on any. I only have about $2,000 saved, I don’t have an income yet, I don’t have a guarantor, and my credit is poor because of family-related issues from when I was younger, so renting has been almost impossible.
I met with NYU Basic Needs, and from what I understand, the main option they could offer me right now is helping me enter the shelter system. I’ve experienced homelessness before, and I’m honestly terrified of ending up back there after working so hard to finish college.
I’m posting because I genuinely don’t know what else to do. If anyone has been in a similar situation, knows of legitimate short-term housing resources, sublets that don’t require a guarantor, emergency programs, or literally anything I may not have thought of, I would be incredibly grateful.

I sent all my test scores to nyu with the free score send during april but it still says no test scores received even tho collegeboard said they sent it to nyu already… was wondering if anyone else had this or were able to see their AP scores

So I'm currently trying to find places near nyu tandon.

I'm currently checking out bayridge and sunset park but I was wondering are there any other areas where I can get rent for around 900-1100 nearby and not too far away from the University itself?

Any other things that I should be looking out for as well in terms of amenities?

PS. Do any of you guys have owner/broker numbers who could assist with the matter?

Hi guys

I need help. I’ve been looking for a place to move in, but everyone keeps saying that I need to make 40x the rent. I currently don’t, and if I can’t find a place, I don’t think that I’ll be able to attend college next fall. I was asked to leave where I live rn, and I can’t find any place.

hi! I was admitted for the class of 2030 and I'm so excited! I am 17 years old and I've heard that a lot of NYU like social events and parties are dependent on being 18 and having a valid ID. I'm a bit scared of the social isolation aspect of this considering I just turned 17 and won't be legal until may of next year. Is this something I really need to worry about or will I still be able to find like good social opportunities and stuff?

I'm building a selective student-led AI research lab focused on tackling ambitious problems in machine learning and artificial intelligence.

The goal is simple: build research that can compete at the highest level and develop projects suitable for submission to premier AI venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AAAI, JMLR, Nature Machine Intelligence, and Cell Press AI when they meet publication standards.

I'm currently conducting research with collaborators at Yale, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, and the Broad Institute, with one published paper and multiple research projects currently in progress.

We're looking for highly motivated students with strong coding and mathematical backgrounds who want to do real AI research, contribute to open-source projects, collaborate with other talented researchers, and gain experience writing publishable research.

If you're passionate about AI and want to be part of building something ambitious from the ground up

Have you guys heard back from either of them?

title. it was way too expensive. i know there is nothing i can do about it i just wanted to share how i was feeling incase anyone has advice for me. my parents left it up to me but i decided that i didnt want to take the risk. nyu was my absolute dream school and i felt absolute crushed saying no. i know this is a rant but im seriously regretting it but i dont think theres anything i can do to get it back. i might transfer to the school that i really want (stern, i didnt initially get into stern i got into the lsc) in a year or so, but nyc was always my dream and i dont want to wait any longer. anyways sorry for the rant lol i just needed to get it off my chest

edit: THANK you to everyone who replied. I really appreciate all the amazing advice. I am thinking of applying to transfer my junior year, depending on how my college experience goes!

Hi everyone
I am an upcoming international Student at NYU wanted to know. Is it possible to afford paying Tution and living expense working part time at NYU on campus and off campus works as well that pay in cash?

Maybe making the Tution payment on monthly basis rather than paying all at once per semester one and all as well…

Love to hear from international students who had the same journey .But any advices anyone can give would love to get ur feedbacks : )

So I reached out to an alumni at nyu who majored in economics just like how I am. He works asset a management position at JP Morgan, and is an executive Director on his team.

However, I’m actively trying to build my network for Investment Banking recruiting. But since he’s so senior, they bring him on the interview team when applications start getting reviewed.

We had a good call, talked about his time at NYU and how he started at JP Morgan and what his day-to-days look like. He also talked about how he likes to ask certain questions during his Interviews and specifically told me which exact one he always asks (macro, economic investment pitch.)

So we’ve been texting month-to-month since April and I reached out asking him if he knew anybody in the M&A space which he said he would refer me to.

This may be very blunt, but how can I work this connection to get him to push my résumé in or kind of have his name on me?

Hey everyone,
I’m an incoming MS student at NYU Courant from Jaipur, India, and I’m currently looking for housing starting in early/mid August 2026.

My budget is around $1,500/month or less, and I’m looking for a shared setup (2B1B, 2B2B, 3B2B, etc.) with Wi-Fi and utilities included if possible.

I’m primarily considering:
Jersey City,Hoboken,Downtown Brooklyn
Other areas with a reasonable commute (preferably 45 minutes or less) to Washington Square Park.

A few things I’m looking for:
Safe neighborhood
Grocery stores and daily essentials nearby
Good public transit access
Student-friendly environment

If you have a room available, are looking for a roommate, or are also searching for housing and would like to team up, feel free to DM me.

I’m already coordinating with a few other incoming students, so I’d appreciate any leads or suggestions.
Thanks!

Flew up to NY to tour NYU. Overall I’m impressed with what I saw of the school but it wasn’t that much. Every stop was basically either the outside of a building or the lobby. Didn’t get to see dorms, were people eat or hang out, didn’t get in to see Tisch or any of the departments related to theatre or film. Can anyone advise as to the best way to get a more comprehensive tour?

Why is the uniform more expensive than Figs? Does Cherokee sell the same purple color outside of the school? And just have somebody embroider the NYU emblem????
