Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

NYU facilities are in and of the city, which means they are a mix of historic and cutting edge. Many buildings are just old, and consequently, many facilities aren’t perfect. They do, however, have that certain New York gritty-but-pretty charm. NYU is also finding money to renovate lots of buildings, including Third North residence hall, the journalism building, and the Gallatin building. In general, classrooms, common spaces, and especially elevators can be crowded—being surrounded by people is the NYU and NYC way of life.

Overall, NYU's school board has been making a significant effort to renovate old structures, and the school does a good job in terms of ensuring that facilities needed by students are readily available.

A City Is Always Busy

NYU's campus is pretty nice when it comes to clubs and activities. Going to the fall club fest shows you that there are 100, maybe even 200 different clubs at this university. New York is a diverse city, so there are clubs on religion, frats, hobbies, sports, almost anything you could ever want! The Kimmel Center is a great place to hang out and most of the club activities occur there. There is also a nice gym a few blocks away from the main class building area. The Bobst library is also fantastic for studying, in almost any way imaginable. (Solitary studying, quiet studying, semi-loud studying, group studying, etc.) I also consider it the hyperbolic time chamber because I somehow get work done ten times faster in there. All in all, NYU's facilities are A+.

Campus

There are many things on campus for student use, like 2 gym centers, multiple computer laps, a large library, and student centers where kids can study. To get into any NYU building you need a campus ID. Most of the campus surrounds Washington Square Park, and it's beautiful to just sit there between classes sometimes. But the downside? There's no REAL NYU campus, just a lot of buildings that are close to one another.

Useful

The facilities at NYU are excellent. They provide comfort and are very accessible. They are relatively near each other and are opened at convenient hours. New buildings for student activities are being constructed, which will provide more space for the student population.

Facts

"Green" Initiatives

NYU has a Sustainability Task Force made up of students, faculty, and administrators who work to improve the University's green practices. By 2017, the hope is for NYU to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent.

Favorite Things To Do

One of the greatest facilities NYU has to offer is the NYU Ticket Central, which has discounted student tickets to popular Broadway shows and even free movie screening passes. For those on an even tighter budget, there are always shows being put on by the Tisch drama students, with prices ranging anywhere from free to $15. The Violet Café is transformed into a coffeehouse on a regular basis and hosts open mic nights and student poetry readings. For physical fun, Coles and Palladium offer a variety of clubs and classes. The climbing wall at Palladium is a great way to change up your workout. Mostly, though, everyone’s favorite thing to do in between classes is grab a cup of coffee and find a bench in the park or a couch in a lounge and take a few minutes to catch up with friends. Being that NYU is centrally located in an urban area rich with culture, students are not limited to University activities.
