Hi everyone! We are soooo back 😗
My name is Madi and I am a sophomore in Gallatin (@nyugallatin) studying social entrepreneurship & performing arts.
Though I’m originally from Chatham, NJ (not too far!), absolutely adore living and walking around the city. On campus, you can find me running from one theater rehearsal to the next, heading to chapter meetings for my sorority (@nyuaephi), or managing one of my many businesses 🤓 In my free time, odds are I will either be drinking coffee, listening to La La Land, heading to a pilates class, or tearing up the dance floor 💃
I can’t wait to take you through my day and answer all of your questions!

Microwaves, mini fridges, lamps, clothes . . . for the last two semesters, NYU students have stocked up on items from dorm room basics to Halloween costumes, disco balls, and even an Xbox, all for free at the @nyu.swapshop. All inventory is donated or left behind during NYU’s move out. Thus, the shop saves students money while also reflecting NYU’s commitment to sustainability. In its first year alone, the Swap Shop kept around 12,000 items out of the landfill while reducing demand for new products and saving students an estimated $200,000.

It’s woven into everything from the design of your residence hall and the shape of your curriculum to the clubs you join and the career opportunities you explore. No matter what you plan to study—even if you don’t know yet!—considering your future through the lens of sustainability can be a powerful exercise. The world’s future depends on sustainability. It’s central to leadership in every sector, from media and the arts to finance and technology.

"When I got my acceptance letter from NYU, I was excited, yet unsure. That was because I would be a spring start student, with a gap semester in what would have been the start of my freshman year. As my senior summer came to a close, I was anxious and unsure if I had made the right choice. What I didn’t know then was how much I would end up appreciating my gap semester."
