Meet Me at NYU: Plan Your Campus Tour

Cindy Nowicki

Associate Director of Content Strategy and Development

How do you know if NYU is right for you ? You can read all about what makes college here different and the many opportunities you won’t find anywhere else. Still, nothing compares to experiencing NYU for yourself by planning a campus tour!

On a campus tour, you’ll visit the buildings where you will grow as a scholar and person. For example, you’ll check out the residence halls where you will build community. You’ll get a feel for the city’s energy and how it motivates everyone who calls NYU home. What’s more, perhaps most important, you’ll meet students and learn what it’s like to go to college here directly from the source. Even if NYU has been your dream school for years, taking a campus tour is one of the best ways to find out if it is the college for you.

Meet Me in New York City

Can you picture yourself here.

There’s something special about being on a corner outside the College of Arts and Science , the Stern School of Business , or any other NYU building and witnessing students go about their day. You’ll observe an incredible amount of diversity , creativity, and passion for learning. Our student population includes people from many backgrounds and perspectives, with just as many interests. Therefore, no matter who you are, you can find like-minded people at NYU.

Campus Without Walls

What makes NYU different from other colleges, even those located in New York City, is the lack of walls or gates separating the University from the rest of the city. For example, on a single block, you’ll find the NYU Wasserman Center for Career Development ; a friendly, all-gender hair salon; and a Mexican restaurant. At NYU, the city is both your home and your classroom . And a campus tour is a great way to begin to understand just what that means! 

A High-Tech Home Base in Brooklyn for Engineering and the Arts

Your campus tour could take you across the East River , a short ride from NYU’s campus in Greenwich Village, to one of the city’s newest hubs for technology, science, business, and the creative arts: Downtown Brooklyn. This dynamic, growing neighborhood is home to the NYU Tandon School of Engineering as well as exciting programs in the Tisch School of the Arts that merge art and technology. For example, the Game Design , Interactive Media Arts , and Recorded Music programs call Downtown Brooklyn home. Here, opportunities to learn and collaborate abound.

TIP: Start with a Virtual Tour

Can’t wait to experience it all in person? While you’re counting down to your campus visit, get a head start with a virtual tour . Explore NYU’s most important buildings like Bobst Library, the Department of Campus Safety, and the Tandon MakerSpace. As you go, note any questions or observations that come up.

We Can’t Wait to Show You Around

Whether you’re visiting the NYU campus in Greenwich Village or Downtown Brooklyn, you will be welcomed by a team of student ambassadors and admissions staff eager to ensure you learn what you need to make an informed college decision.

Your visit will start with an information session led by an NYU admissions counselor. There, you’ll get an overview and have the chance to ask any application-related questions you might have.

Next, a student ambassador will take you around campus and share what it’s like to be an NYU student. You’ll tour Bobst Library, the Kimmel Center for University Life , a first-year residence hall , and different types of classrooms. You can take as many photos as you’d like and ask any questions along the way. The size of tour groups is kept small on purpose, so each visitor has a personalized experience.

What’s more, during check-in, you’ll receive a 10 percent discount voucher to the campus bookstore. So you can pick up some NYU merch at the end of your tour.

Meet Me in Abu Dhabi

Visiting NYU Abu Dhabi in person is just a preview of what being part of this inclusive, globally minded learning community is like. As you explore the modern, 38-acre campus , you’ll take in the places where you will live, learn, and make lifelong friends.

At the heart of NYU Abu Dhabi is the Campus Center. Students go there to study, enjoy meals, and take advantage of the library and athletic facilities. On your tour, you’ll also visit the Conference Center, home to the NYU Abu Dhabi Institute; the Experimental Research Building, which supports cross-disciplinary collaboration; and the Arts Center, with its state-of-the-art theatres, rehearsal rooms, classrooms, and more.

Getting Around

NYU Abu Dhabi is located on Saadiyat Island, just outside downtown Abu Dhabi. The campus is a short taxi or car ride from Abu Dhabi’s airport and about an hour drive from Dubai. Saadiyat is known as Abu Dhabi’s cultural district, with the recently opened Louvre Abu Dhabi and forthcoming Guggenheim Abu Dhabi and Natural History Museum. Therefore, before or after your campus tour, you and your family can go downtown to explore the city by public bus, bike shares and e-scooters, or abra (water taxi).

Meet Me in Shanghai

Your exploration of NYU Shanghai begins with a tour of the brand-new Qiantan campus and the city of Shanghai—all from your smartphone or computer.

A New Home for NYU Shanghai

NYU Shanghai’s campus, located in the Qiantan district of Pudong, just opened in spring 2023. Qiantan, also known as the New Bund, is one of Shanghai’s newest neighborhoods. It’s an exciting place to be a college student! All within a pedestrian-friendly distance from campus, you can explore international and traditional Shanghai restaurants, cozy coffee shops, unique bookstores, and spacious parks. Local attractions include the Oriental Sports Center, Qiantan Crystal Plaza shopping center, and the New Bund 31 Performing Arts Center. What’s more, the stunning Huangpu River walkway with many pedestrian and bike paths is also nearby. 

Academics and Student Life

The campus is composed of four interconnecting structures surrounding a central, sun-filled courtyard. Its environmentally sustainable design encourages collaboration while uniting Western and Chinese scholarly traditions. Some highlights of the new campus are a new library with a digital studio, visualization and media lab, active learning classroom, virtual reality lab, and curiosity lab; an athletic center featuring multiple sport courts and state-of-the-art fitness equipment; a dining hall that serves both Chinese and international menu items; a recital hall and black box theatre; and Magnolia House, a winter garden where students can relax or study in a comfortable, light-filled setting. In the residence hall, Chinese students and non-Chinese students are paired together. So everyone has the chance to share their culture and unique perspective to learn from each other.

Shanghai has one of the world’s most extensive networks of public transit, including buses, trolley buses, and metro lines. Catch a ride and enjoy everything China’s largest city has to offer!

Do you need an NYC map ? Whenever I visit a new city, I like to have a tourist map on hand to find everything I’m going to see and not forget anything. I live only an hour and a half from New York City, so I visit it every time I have the chance. I’ve compiled a lot of New York tourist maps that I think will be very useful to you as you’re planning your trip to the “City that Never Sleeps.”

Below is a list of the 12 maps of New York you’ll find in this article. You can print them out or save them on your smartphone so you can check them at any time.

The New York tourist map below will help you to get an initial idea of the main tourist attractions in the city.

Interactive map of New York

I‘ve created the following interactive map of New York so you can find all the essential places to visit in NYC . You can find museums, the most emblematic skyscrapers in the city, parks – everything!

But if you think I’ve forgotten an interesting tourist spot, leave me a comment and I’ll add it.

At the end of this article, I explain how you can check this map when you’re offline, so you can always take it with you and use it during your trip .

Manhattan is the most popular area of New York among tourists, so it’s essential to have a map to locate the main attractions of New York. The following Manhattan map is also very useful because you can locate the different neighborhoods within the island of Manhattan.

Here is a map of the main attractions in New York . This map is very useful for finding the NY essentials and ideal if you’re going to visit the city for a short time.

The next one is the Central Park map , one of my favorite places in New York and a place I really recommend you visit, since it’s the green heart of the city. Of course, you’ll need to spend a few hours in it, since it’s not just the largest urban park in New York – it’s also one of the largest in the world. Here you can check all the things to do in Central Park.

Here is a New York street map so you don’t get lost and can locate yourself quickly. As soon as you understand the numbering system of streets and avenues in New York, there is no way you’ll get lost.

NYC neighborhood map

Some neighborhoods in the city are very well known and probably sound familiar to you. In any case, the following New York neighborhood map will help you to find them quickly.

Here is a New York subway map , one of the maps I consider essential for moving around a big city like this one. Taking the subway in New York can be a bit difficult in the beginning, but one day in the city is enough to figure out how it works. Besides, here is a guide on the other ways to get around NYC .

Below is a New York road map. You may not need it since most tourists come to New York City by plane, and if they take an excursion, such as to Philadelphia or Niagara Falls , they book a tour.

In my case, I always go to New York from Philadelphia by car, so this road map of NYC is very useful to me. You can also use it if you decide to rent a car and visit New York State.

If you’re still afraid of getting lost, here is a high-resolution map of NYC so you can zoom in and find any point. In addition, it’s also a great way to make sure you don’t miss a single detail of this great city.

The map of the United States below can help you to locate New York within the country.

Finally, here is a map of NYC for downloading . You can check this map even when you’re offline if you follow the subsequent steps. First, install the Maps.me and Dropbox applications on your smartphone. Both are available for all operating systems and are completely free.

You will have to search “New York” in Maps.me, download the KML file, and save it to Dropbox. Then, open the KML file from your phone using Maps.me so that all the tourist attraction spots are saved. By doing this, you’ll have the interactive map of NYC available on your smartphone.

That’s it! With these maps of New York, you have everything you need to start planning your trip and make the most of the “City that Never Sleeps.”

A Revolution in Type: Gender and the Making of the American Yiddish Press (Webinar)

Tuesday, May 7, 2024 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Between the 1880s and 1920s, Yiddish-language newspapers rose from obscurity to become successful institutions integral to American Jewish life. During this period, Yiddish-speaking immigrants came to view newspapers as indispensable parts of their daily lives. For many Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, acclimating to America became inextricably intertwined with becoming a devoted reader of the Yiddish periodical press, as the newspapers and their staffs became a fusion of friends, religious and political authorities, tour guides, matchmakers, and social welfare agencies. In A Revolution in Type, Ayelet Brinn argues that questions related to women and gender were central to the emergence of the Yiddish press as a powerful, influential force in American Jewish culture.

Ayelet Brinn  is an Assistant Professor of Judaic Studies and History at the University of Hartford, where she holds the Philip D. Feltman Professorship in Modern Jewish History. After receiving her Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania, she held a Rabin-Shvidler Joint Postdoctoral Fellowship in Jewish Studies at Columbia University and Fordham University, the Ivan and Nina Ross Family Fellow, Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies, and was a Scholar in Residence at the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute.

Discovering the Frank Brothers - Freeborn Men of Color, Soldiers of Independence (Webinar)

Wednesday, May 22, 2024 |12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Shirley Green will speak about her recent book, Revolutionary Blacks: Discovering the Frank Brothers, Freeborn Men of Color, Soldiers of Independence (Westholme Publishing; 2023). The narrative follows the lives of William and Benjamin Frank, two brothers who enlisted in the Second Rhode Island Regiment during the American Revolutionary War in the spring of 1777. Their military experiences quickly diverged, and Dr. Green explores their stories to provide context and substance to the Black experience during the war years, as well as underscore the significant distinction between free Blacks in military service and those who had been enslaved, and how they responded in different ways to the harsh realities of racism.

Shirley Green  received her Ph.D. in history from Bowling Green State University after a twenty-six-year career in law enforcement. She is an adjunct professor of history at the University of Toledo and Bowling Green State University. She is currently the Director of the Toledo Police Museum in Toledo, Ohio.

Thursday, May 30, 2024 |1:00 PM – 2:00 PM

Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, 1867-1999 , is a collection that includes maps of over twelve thousand American cities and towns. Sanborn Maps were originally created to evaluate the degree of risk associated with commercial, industrial, and residential structures. Today, Sanborn Maps are often consulted by researchers interested in the characteristics of buildings and how neighborhoods changed over time.

The New York State Library’s subscription database, Digital Sanborn Maps, includes maps specifically for New York State cities and villages for the dates 1867-1970. Stephanie Barrett and Jane Bentley Turo will demonstrate how to navigate this database, as well as share additional resources attendees can use for historical and genealogical research.

The New York State Library is part of the  Office of Cultural Education  within the  New York State Education Department  and celebrated its bicentennial in 2018. The Library serves the following three major constituencies. The  Regent Joseph E. Bowman Jr. Research Library , established by law in 1818, collects, preserves, and makes available materials that support State government work. The Library's collections, now numbering over 20 million items, may also be used by other researchers onsite, online, and via interlibrary loan. The  Talking Book and Braille Library  (TBBL) lends braille, audiobooks, magazines, and special playback equipment to residents of the 55 upstate counties of New York State who cannot read printed materials because of a visual or physical disability. The  Division of Library Development  works in partnership with 72 library systems to bring library services to millions of people who use New York's academic, public, school, and special libraries. Library Development also administers State and Federal grant programs that provide aid for library services.
