Student Life in Sydney

The NYU Sydney Student Life team provides support to students from the moment they arrive in Sydney until the day they depart. Each member of the team has spent significant time studying and traveling abroad. They fully understand the value and significance of the study away experience.

NYU Sydney staff join students on every trip sponsored by NYU Sydney, and they are available whenever classes are scheduled. A member of the team will also be available by phone to respond to emergencies 24 hours a day.

The team will encourage students to explore Sydney, help to create friendships, assist with making medical appointments, and keep the cohort connected to all things NYU Sydney. 

"We are here to help each and every student make the most of their time away." - Mark Eels, Assistant Director, Student Life.

Community & The Shared Experience

Our team understands that students come to NYU Sydney from across the university. Most students meet each other for the first time at either the pre-departure orientation or during O-Week in Sydney. With this in mind, our trips and excursions are designed to enhance knowledge and understanding of Australia, and serve as a platform for students to meet other members of the cohort.

In addition to student programming developed exclusively for NYU students, NYU Sydney students also will have access to the same facilities, student life programming, and support services available to all University of Sydney students.
