A professional student services staff member assists students with their adjustment to life outside of class. This NYU staff assigns housing, plans activities, and sees to the general well-being of the student body. Being away from home and familiar surroundings can sometimes be disorienting, and the student life staff is prepared to respond to any questions or concerns which may arise throughout the semester. Our full-time professional staff is always available 24 hours a day, seven days a week on an emergency cell phone to respond to any unexpected events that may present themselves in off hours. As with all of NYU’s Study Away sites, NYU Sydney is fully integrated into the University’s Security, Emergency Response, and Health & Wellness systems.
