Academic and Cultural Adjustment

Adjusting to life in New York and at NYU can be a challenge. The Office of Global Services has developed a list of resources on academic and cultural adjustment for international students. You’ll find information on the stages of cultural adjustment, tips for cultural adjustment and intercultural communication, and more. We also have the information in bookmark form. Submit a request and we’ll send bookmarks over to your department!

See also these useful videos sent to all international students prior to their arrival at NYU for further adjustment tips as part of the Office of Global Services Journey to NYU email series for newly admitted international students.
