Welcome Week

Welcome Week kicks off the year with helpful (and fun!) programs for new freshman, transfer, and graduate students. Held the week before classes begin, Welcome Week provides new students with a great opportunity to learn about NYU and NYC, and meet lots of new people in the process.  Although some students will be attending their individual school orientation during the same time, there are plenty of activities, especially in the evening, to supplement the school’s orientation schedule.  Look for more Welcome Week information in August.
