Navigating NYU’s Virtual Fall Events
If I had to pick a theme for 2020, I’d say it’s the year of doing things differently. For example, the way we connect with friends and loved ones is different. And the way we celebrate and socialize is different. And even the way we learn is different this year. So as we approach the start of a new admissions cycle, the way applicants will “visit” colleges will also be different. Like many schools all over the country, NYU has transitioned its events online. And we’re excited to share our virtual Fall events with you.
To help you navigate our virtual fall events better, we’ve divided them into 4 categories. And you can learn about all of them below. Although we can’t welcome you to our campus physically, we hope these events will allow you to take an even deeper dive into all of NYU’s offerings and resources. So if you decide to attend one or all of them, you’ll be happy you came.
1. Get to Know NYU
These events are a great place to begin your virtual fall event journey. And that’s because they lay the foundation about who we are as an institution and provide an overview of other upcoming events.
Virtual Information Sessions
Our virtual information sessions help you learn more about our campus. At each session, an admissions counselor gives an overview of NYU’s application process. During the session, a panel of three current students shares their perspective on NYU student life and more. Most importantly, those in the virtual audience have a chance to ask the students questions through the Q&A function. Register for our virtual information session.
NYU Abu Dhabi Virtual Information Sessions
These virtual events give you an inside look at life at our Abu Dhabi campus. During the session, you get to learn all about what’s it’s like to live and study in one of the most diverse regions in the world. Register for our NYU Abu Dhabi information session. And don’t forget to check out our Abu Dhabi virtual campus and city tour.
NYU Shanghai Virtual Information Sessions
Here’s your chance to get to know our Shanghai campus better. Wanna dive even deeper? After the session, schedule a virtual coffee chat with an admissions counselor or take a virtual 360-degree tour.
Regional Virutal Events
Our regional virtual events let you hear from your regional admissions counselor. Although the counselors won’t have the chance to meet you in person this year, virtual recruitment presents a really unique opportunity. That’s because student ambassadors from the region can now join the counselors “on the road.” And during the session, the students get to share what it was like transitioning from their hometown to the big city. Register for a virtual regional event near you.
Global Network Information Session
NYU is proud to be a global university. And we can’t wait to share that excitement with you. These sessions give you a chance to examine our various global opportunities. From study abroad programs to our two-degree granting campuses in Shanghai and Abu Dhabi, we’ve got you covered. Most importantly, this virtual fall event lets you travel through our global network from the comfort of your couch. Register for our next global network information session.
