The Scoop
New York University is a private research university located in the heart of Greenwich Village, Manhattan, and is one of the largest private universities in the United States. With approximately 55,000 students, NYU offers an exceptionally wide range of programs, with particular strengths in business (Stern), performing arts (Tisch), law, and the social sciences. The university operates global campuses in Abu Dhabi and Shanghai.
Campus life at NYU is defined by its integration with New York City — there is no traditional enclosed campus, and the city itself serves as the university's classroom and social hub. This urban model attracts students from around the world, making NYU one of the most internationally diverse universities in the country. The arts, media, and finance industries are all at students' doorsteps. Admissions are highly selective, and NYU attracts students who are independent, culturally engaged, and drawn to the energy and opportunity of one of the world's great cities.
