At NYU, it's not all about New York City, at least not all of the time.
Campus activities become very important as you decide which colleges really suit who you are and what you like to do with your time. Finding a college that offers the clubs, teams, and activities you enjoy outside of class guarantees that you’ll find other students who share your interests—and those people will most likely become your friends for life. Some campuses offer tons of activities—lots of clubs, social events, and outings that make use of the school’s location.
NYU offers an incredibly active and diverse experience for undergraduates right here on our campus. At NYU you can become a leader or you could be a joiner—or both! Your experience here takes on the shape of the life you want. NYU offers so many activities that getting involved on campus is a challenge for one reason: there are too many choices!
- Nearly 400 clubs and organizations, 18 fraternities and 10 sororities.
- Two gyms—the Jerome S. Coles Sports and Recreation Center and the Palladium Athletic Facility—provide the setting for more than 275 intramural sports teams, recreation classes (e.g., aerobics, tennis, yoga) and 21 UAA varsity teams that compete with seven other private, urban universities.
- Community service opportunities that connect students with the community, the country, the world. NYU’s official tagline actually reads "A private university in the public service." Here are some examples of community service opportunities.
