Freshmen

NYU in London. The student experience of a small liberal arts college. The quality and resources of a major research university.

New York University has many years experience of welcoming freshman students to its study abroad sites and London is a great place to start your University life. With the city itself as a back drop to your classes, London will provide a rich cultural and educational resource as well as a fun place to spend your first semester. You will join approximately 100 other freshman students on a bespoke programme.

You will be housed in high standard, purpose built, self-catering, student accommodation, along with the rest of the NYU in London student community. All rooms are shared and include broadband internet access, bathroom and full equipped communal kitchen.  The housing includes wireless internet in communal areas, such as TV rooms and study areas. Dedicated residential and security staff are present 24 hours a day.

See the housing section on the left for more detail.

The academic programme provides a wide range of courses taught by experienced professors, predominantly from the University of London, in class sizes of 15-25. The teaching staff are available outside of class time for additional academic support.

A full programme of co- and extra-curricular activities of trips and events are provided by the dedicated Freshman student life staff from the first few days of orientation and on throughout the semester to help you explore the best of London and the UK.

Students are encouraged to participate in community service and sports as the best way of integrating with the local community.
