Congratulations on your acceptance to NYU’s General Studies Program! We hope you’re excited to start your college career in the European city of Florence. While abroad, you’ll follow an academic program approved by GSP so that you remain seamlessly on track toward your degree requirements and graduate on time.
You may have accessed this web site through the NYU Study Abroad Admissions web site, but you should use this site as your main reference for forms and information about the GSP Freshman Year in Florence Program. During the academic year, upperclassmen from both NYU and other leading US colleges and universities also study with NYU at Florence. As such, the general Study Abroad Admissions website contains information for those students. Since not all information applies to all students (and different groups could have different deadlines, forms, etc) you should ensure that the information you are reading applies to you. Additionally, as you prepare for your year abroad, you’ll also receive information about NYU in NYC. While we realize this can sometimes be confusing, legal issues require that all freshmen entering NYU must receive certain publications. If you are ever confused about whether or not something you receive pertains to you, please contact us as we are happy to clarify.
Once you've familiarized yourself with this site you may also want to take a look at the web site maintained by our staff in Florence which offers more specific information about the NYU Center, the city of Florence and the resources available in the city. In addition, you should feel free to check out our photo gallery to get a feel for what your year in Florence might look like!
