"As I enter my senior year at @nyuniversity, I find myself reflecting on the time I have spent here. Having been an Admissions Ambassador since my first year, I have developed a solid understanding of the college search process and current student experience. Through spending more than 250 hours giving tours, I hope to have provided an authentic glimpse into campus life for those who aim to get to a similar place. This article is for applicants who haven’t had the opportunity to take a tour of NYU. It is also for those who are feeling a bit lost in the world of college applications. I hope my answers to these frequently asked questions inspire some clarity."

When people think of @nyuniversity, they don’t always think about sports. But @nyucas student and @nyuathletics Swimming & Diving Team member Kaley McIntyre never let that bother her. “I chose NYU because of the diverse and amazing experiences it offers,” she says. “You get to meet people from all over and challenge your worldview.” While living in the Big Apple felt overwhelming at first, joining NYU’s swimming and diving team helped. “That gave me an instant community that made this big city feel a little bit smaller and more manageable,” the student athlete explains. Soon she felt right at home. “I really love where I grew up, but I knew if I stayed there my whole life, I would be missing out on so much. Coming to New York City was a big change, but it has helped me grow so much as a person.”

When Andrea Durham enrolled in a writing class during her first year at NYU, she already knew that she wanted a career in medical science. Still, the @nyutandon Biomolecular Science major never anticipated that one essay would launch her research career—and bring her to the Center for Molecular Integrative Neuroresilience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
“Through my writing I developed a better understanding of how I want to work, and what it means to have a meaningful research career,” Andrea says. “Writing gave me the ability to reflect not only on my life and passion, but also on the world around me.” After all, at @nyuniversity, you never know where one class—or one assignment—may take you.
