NYU College Visit

We are excited to host a New York University information session on our campus for the first time.

The admissions officer, Bridget Hastead, will kindly provide the school’s information session for our upper school community.

“NYU is a truly global institution with three main campuses: New York, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai. In addition to these three degree-granting campuses, NYU operates 13 global centers where students can study away.  We offer an intentionally global education. The New York campus hosts more international students than any other US university. In NYC, students choose from over 100 majors and gain invaluable experience living and learning in New York. NYU Abu Dhabi offers a small, diverse community of scholars and world citizens who reap the benefits of a large university on a small campus. NYU Shanghai is the first dual US-Chinese university. Half of all NYUSH students are Chinese nationals while the other half are from countries around the world. ” 

Registration is required: here

Time: 11.30 to 12.30, September 10th

Location : LGR 3
