You did it! You applied to college during one of the most unprecedented times in our history. And your hard work and dedication paid off. You’ve been admitted to New York University! Congratulations! So now it’s time to celebrate. Luckily, we have a number of admitted student events happening throughout the month of April designed with you in mind. And we even created a handy resource hub so you have everything in one place (consider it your Home Base). Most importantly, our events will help you learn more about the NYU student experience and connect with other admitted students from around the world. Discover what’s inside your Home Base—and everything you need to know about April events.
