The First Year Residential Experience (FYRE)

Like all first year halls, Lipton is part of the First Year Residential Experience (FYRE). FYRE is designed to help students transition to campus, build community, and acclimate to New York City. Being a part of FYRE is a great way to create connections with other first-year students. Every year, students compete in the FYRE Olympics, which brings all of the first year residence halls together for friendly competition. In addition, Lipton also has three exploration floors: The NYU Show, L’Etage Francais, and Vivir en Español.
