Orientation

As part of your semester with NYU at AUP, you’ll participate in a week-long orientation to familiarize you with AUP, the city of Paris, and some of the history and culture of France. By the time you arrive in Paris, you'll already have been registered for your courses. Administrative and student life staff will be on hand for academic advisement, to help you change your schedule if the need arises, and to serve as guides during your first few days. Through a carefully planned orientation program, you’ll attend information sessions on housing, purchasing a cell phone, and how to get around Paris. Textbooks for your courses may be purchased at the AUP bookstore.

Housing and Meals

Freshman will be housed in either a residence hall or with homestays. Additional information, including cost, will be made available as soon as possible.

Trips and Activities

Because Paris is so rich in history, almost every step you take outside the classroom will reveal a tidbit of art, architecture, or historical fact hiding around a corner, waiting for discovery. Working with the Office of Cultural Programs at AUP, NYU at AUP offers excursions and study trips throughout the semester to students.Students may decide to take advantage of subsidized tickets to opera, ballet or concerts in Paris’s famous theaters. They may also visit museums with special guided tours to learn more about current exhibitions. Or, they may choose to participate in one of the many study trips to locations such as the Loire Valley, Champagne, Bayeux or Avignon. Some study trips are recommended as part of a course and require an additional fee.
