Housing Guide 2022: Dorm fast facts

First-year residence halls

Brittany hall.

55 E. 10th St. $7,913 for a double or $7,033 for a triple Two themed floors: Black Violets and For All Musical Endeavors Five-minute walk to Washington Square Park Large lounges, performance space, recreation room, music room, dance room, penthouse, study lounge and laundry room Shared microwaves and mini fridges Previously a Prohibition-era hotel Subway access: Astor Pl station (6 train), 8 St-NYU station (R and W trains), 14 St-Union Sq station (L, N, Q, R, W, 4, 5 and 6 trains)

I think Brittany is one of the most underrated dorms at NYU. The rooms are some of the nicest and most renovated I’ve seen in any dorm: wooden floors, motion-sensing lights and no popcorn ceiling. I lived on the 12th floor facing E. 10th St, so I woke up every morning to a lovely view of the city. Alec Baldwin even lives on the same street, which could be a good or bad thing depending on whether he has punched anyone in the face over a parking spot that week. On a more personal note, I met a wonderful community of people on my floor, some of whom I’m still friends with even in my final year of college. My experience at Brittany definitely made my freshman year special.

Founders Hall

120 E. 12th St. $7,913 for a double Ten-minute walk to Washington Square Park Two TV lounges and one study lounge with computers Microwave and fridge in each suite Water bottle filling stations on certain floors Beautiful exterior with old church front A Greek prince lived here from 2019-20 when he was a first-year Subway access: 14 St-Union Sq station (L, N, Q, R, W, 4, 5 and 6 trains)

Standing 26 floors tall on E. 12th St. is Founders Hall, the dorm I am proud to call my first-year home. I live in a suite with one roommate and two suitemates. The rooms are spacious — and not just by New York City standards. There is enough room in my dorm for me to pace around when I get bored or for my roommates to complete a jigsaw puzzle on the floor without taking up all of our real estate. The views from the upper floors are breathtaking, so leaving our blinds open most of the time a must-do. Founders’ distance from Washington Square Park and many NYU buildings is inconvenient at times, but the walk is manageable if you give yourself time before class. Plus, buildings with meal plan dining options like Third Avenue North and University Hall are only a short walk away.

Goddard Hall

79 Washington Square E. Ranges from $5,881 to $9,408 for a single, lower-cost double or lower-cost triple Has a specialized Writing the Essay course that is integrated with the stream programming experience Engagement Streams: All the World’s A Stage, Creators and Innovators, Global New York and Inequality & Difference: A Tale of Two New York Cities Adjacent to Washington Square Park Smallest first-year residence hall The only Residential College open to first-years Subway access: W 4 St-Wash Sq station (A, B, C, D, E, F and M trains), Astor Pl station (6 train), 8 St-NYU station (R and W trains)

Goddard is the perfect location for a student who is passionate about niche subjects. Since all floors are themed and you need to apply to get in, everyone there has an interest in something and has loads to talk about. My theme was “All the World’s a Stage” and we were able to go to shows like La Bohème at the Met Opera for free! I still talk to a lot of my friends from Goddard, as we have a lot in common. That being said, Goddard is a small dorm. It’s basically six floors, so you’ll get an extremely close campus feel. Its reputation as a quiet and wholesome dorm, plus its location at the center of campus, make it a perfect place to live among the chaos. I still remember going to or coming back from Bobst at 2 a.m. — it’s really convenient! I lived on the side overlooking Washington Square Park, so I woke up to jazz music in the park on weekends.

Lipton Hall

33 Washington Square W. Ranges from $7,033 to $9,408 for a single, double or triple Three exploration floors: NYU Show, Vivir en Español and L’Étage Français Adjacent to Washington Square Park Large common room with communal kitchen and game room, quiet study spaces, and dance and music practice rooms Spacious study lounges Vegan and vegetarian options at Lipton dining hall Cole and Dylan Sprouse lived here when they were first-years Subway access: W 4 St-Wash Sq station (A, B, C, D, E, F and M trains), 8 St-NYU station (R and W trains)

To me, Lipton Hall is the superior first-year dorm. The best thing is definitely the location — I leave 10 minutes before my classes and it’s such an amazing feeling. I met people in class who lived in my dorm and it was easy to do homework together. My very best friends live in the building, and we visit each other, get ready to go out together and eat lunch together in Washington Square Park. It’s easy and comfortable. The Fellows in Residence also organize a lot of fun activities. I went to Summit, the artsy observation deck, as a dorm activity — it turned a normal Wednesday into an incredible day. Overall, I think that part of having a great experience in your first year includes living in Lipton Hall.

35 Fifth Ave. Ranges from $4,466 to $7,913 for a private studio, double or lower-cost triple Home to the Inequality and Justice themed engagement community on the 16th floor Five-minute walk to Washington Square Park No air conditioning, but low-cost options available Study lounges with air conditioning, theater, dance room, piano room and billiards room Citi Bike rack around the block on 11th Street Subway access: 14 St-Union Sq station (L, N, Q, R, W, 4, 5 and 6 trains), W 4 St-Wash Sq station (A, B, C, D, E, F and M trains) and Astor Pl station (6 train)

While farther from campus than most first-year dorms, Rubin’s convenient four-minute walk to Washington Square Park and eight-minute walk to Union Square is unrivaled. Plus, not everyone can say they’ve lived on Fifth Avenue. Rubin is an old building, but that isn’t a huge problem — it just means chipping paint and low water pressure. The rooms are surprisingly spacious, especially if you’re lucky enough to be in a corner room. But if you’re in a regular triple and chose to unbunk the bunk bed, it’ll be sort of a tight fit. Rubin’s only flaw is its lack of air conditioning — and it can get very hot — but it’s a decent temperature for most of the school year. You really only need air conditioning for the beginning of fall and end of spring. Even then, I highly recommend obtaining a fan or portable air conditioner — it’ll save your life.

Third Avenue North

75 Third Ave. Ranges from $7,354 to $10,425 for a lower-cost single or lower-cost double Two exploration floors: 3rd North Theatre Arts Company and Big Apple, Big Screen Ten-minute walk to Washington Square Park Dance and music practice rooms and mini theater Game rooms, laundry rooms, TV lounge and computer lab Each suite has a kitchen and common area Dining hall downstairs Home to the WSN office! Come check us out some time! NYU Shuttle (Route C) Subway access: 14 St-Union Sq station (L, N, Q, R, W, 4, 5 and 6 trains)

I met some of my best friends and some of my worst enemies here. Third North‘s apartment-style housing really allows you to get to know the people you live with — for better or for worse. I did love living on Third Avenue and not having to deal with the Friday night noise pollution from Washington Square Park. Having a kitchen was a big perk — and a flex — as a freshman. I was able to make my stovetop oats before heading to my 8 a.m. classes every morning and not have to deal with dining hall breakfast. The courtyard in the middle of the Third North towers was an excellent late-night bonding session spot for my friends and I. Overall, I wouldn’t do it again, but it wasn’t the worst freshman year dorming experience, and I’m grateful for some of the people I met along the way.

Weinstein Hall

5 University Place Ranges from $7,033 to $9,408 for a single, double or triple Two themed floors: Laughing Matters and Represent NYC: Expressions of Social Justice Adjacent to Washington Square Park Aside from Lipton and Goddard, one of the closest residence halls to campus Communal kitchen and communal lounge with TV, foosball, ping pong and pool table Music practice rooms with pianos in the basement Two dining halls — Downstein and Upstein — and Sidestein Market located in the lobby Citi Bike rack right outside Subway access: W 4 St-Wash Sq station (A, B, C, D, E, F and M trains), 8th St-NYU station (N and R trains), Astor Pl station (6 train)

While Weinstein’s interior design does mimic that of a cell, and kids may or may not have gotten stuck in an elevator when I lived there, the building still retains some good qualities. It’s the dorm that’s closest in proximity to campus, there are study areas, two dining halls and a mini grocery store to use your Campus Cash. It’s the dorm choice with some of the best resources, but just know that it could be one of the more interesting living experiences.

— Isabella Armus, Deputy Arts Editor

First-year and upperclass residence halls

University hall.

110 E. 14th St.

$8,954 for a double

Themed community: Geeks in the City

Ten-minute walk to Washington Square Park

Offers communal lounges with TVs, music practice rooms with pianos, conference room with printing stations, and study lounges

University Learning Center located downstairs with tutoring opportunities

Fast casual dining option downstairs (UHall Commons and Dunkin Donuts)

Subway access: 14 St-Union Sq station (L, N, Q, R, W, 4, 5 and 6 trains)

Moving away from home for the first time can be daunting; however, living at University Hall has made the transition fairly easy. I live in a two-bedroom suite that I share with one roommate and two suitemates. While the rooms aren’t the most spacious, they give you enough room to store your belongings and be comfortable. One of the pros of living in UHall is that all suites have a common space and a kitchen. I love the fact that we have a kitchen because I can cook my favorite meals. Another thing I like about living in UHall is the Dunkin’ Donuts downstairs. Whenever I’m rushing to class in the morning it’s really convenient having a place to get breakfast. I also enjoy the outdoor space we have on the main floor. When the weather’s nice I love doing work out there — it feels like an escape from the rest of the city. Even though UHall is a bit farther away from campus, I don’t see that as a downside. As someone who is an avid reader and moviegoer, it’s great having a bookstore and movie theater just a quick walk away.

Clark Street

55 Clark St.

Ranges from $6,219 to $10,425 for a private studio, double, triple, or lower-cost double or triple

Ten-minute walk to the MetroTech Center

Located near Jasper Kane dining hall

Large kitchen, study spaces and communal lounge with TV and pool table

Each suite includes a fridge, microwave and TV

Residents are eligible for a complimentary membership to the Eastern Athletic Club next door

Subway access: Clark St station (2 and 3 trains), High St station (A and C trains), Court St station (R train)

The Clark St. dorm is often the last choice of Tandon students when choosing dorms because of the half-mile or about 13-minute walk. Although it was my last choice as well, I discovered that it was much better than I expected. The walk is not bad at all, and I actually enjoy it as a way to clear my head before and after class. It’s also only two blocks away from the Brooklyn Heights promenade and Brooklyn Bridge Park, which boast some of the best views of the Manhattan skyline. NYU rents the rooms from the Educational Housing Service, so the other tower in the building houses students from other New York colleges. There are large common spaces for you to mingle with these students and others from NYU. There are some rooms that face a dreary interior, but rooms that face the street get a lot of sun. There’s also a large kitchen which is a great way to meet people and improve your cooking skills. Overall, don’t discount this dorm just because of the walk! — Ryan Kawahara, Web Director

Othmer Hall

101 Johnson St.

Ranges from $5,170 to $9,533 for a single, lower-cost double or apartment-style suite

Adjacent to the MetroTech Center

Located near the Jasper Kane dining hall

Residents are required to have a meal plan

Subway access: Jay St-MetroTech station (A, C, F and R trains), Borough Hall (2, 3, 4 and 5 trains), DeKalb Ave (B, Q and R trains)

I’ve lived in both Othmer and Clark, but I like Othmer more due to its convenience. The elevator takes a little too long for my liking, especially because I live on the upper floors, but I have a great view. I would highly recommend this dorm for incoming Tandon students! I never realized how lucky I am to live right next to school until I accidentally overslept multiple times and still managed to only be a few minutes late for class. — Megan Kim, Web Staff

Below are some of the questions we get from new students most frequently. We have arranged the questions by topics.  If you don't find an answer to your question below, you can email us at [email protected]

The 2024 First-Year Orientation Week is from Monday August 26 to Saturday August 31 . Orientation Week is required for all first-year students and cannot be skipped.

Parents are invited to the Campus Tour and Parent’s Panel on campus in the afternoon of Move-in Day (August 25, 2024).  Due to limited space, parents and guests will not be able to join the University Welcome.

Orientation Week is designed to give first-year students knowledge about university resources, allow them to meet and bond with their cohort, and get involved with their new community. It is important for students to spend time with their new peers in session discussions and team activities throughout the orientation week. 

While some of these events are optional, pulling students out of these events will make it harder for them to adjust to life at NYU Shanghai. Because of this, we strongly recommend that parents say their final goodbyes to their kids at the end of Move-in Day, and allow them to enjoy Orientation Week independently.

First-year students can move into their rooms at the Jingyao Residence Hall at 9 AM on August 25, 2024 (533 Jiming Road, Pudong). A few days before Move-in Day, students will receive the key code for their room. Students will receive their NYU ID Cards at the residence hall for entering the building. Students can get their NYU Shanghai student booklet, a pre-loaded metro card, and a Class of 2028 T-Shirt from the Welcome Table on Move-in Day on campus. This is a special day for every new student and we will have staff on-site from the following teams: Residential Education and Housing, Center for New Student Programs, Student Mobility, Information Technology, Bursar Office, and Student Health Center to assist you with specific questions.  

We will arrange airport pick-up shuttles, and the shuttles running between the residence halls and the campus on Move-in Day. The shuttle schedule will be announced in one of the summer newsletters.

Yes. On Move-in Day, NYU Shanghai will provide shuttle buses for students of the Class of 2028 from Pudong International Airport (PVG) to Jingyao Residence Hall (533 Jiming Road, Pudong). 

Shuttle buses will depart from PVG on a set schedule (confirmed schedule will be announced in the summer newsletter). Students will be given priority seating on the shuttle bus, but seats for your family are not guaranteed. Family members can either wait for an available seat on the bus or take a taxi. Our shuttle bus has enough storage capacity for approximately 2 medium to large suitcases per student , so remember to pack accordingly.

If students arrive in the late evening, they will probably miss our airport shuttle bus. We recommend that students line up in the taxi queue at the airport, and take a taxi to the Jingyao Residence Hall (533 Jiming Road, Pudong). This should cost around 140 RMB (20 US dollars) with no traffic. Please get the Alipay wallet ready or prepare some spare amount of CNY cash in advance, so that students can pay the taxi drivers.

There are a few hotels close to the NYU Shanghai campus and they offer a corporate rate for students and parents. Please click this link to find the hotels. To enjoy the rate, you need to contact the Sales Representative listed in the Hotel Guide and indicate that you are part of the NYU Shanghai community.

The Fall housing application for Class of 2028 international students will be released in June. The Fall housing application for Class of 2028 Chinese students will be released in July. Housing assignments for all students will be sent out in August.

Multi-cultural integration and understanding is a fundamental aspect of NYU Shanghai’s educational mission. To further this mission, we prioritize assigning students with a room-mate from a different geographical background. We make every effort for each room to have an international-Chinese student pairing. 

In addition, we will try to pair students with someone who has similar lifestyle habits, as specified in answers to the Lifestyle Questionnaire in the housing application

Each NYU Shanghai Residence Hall room is equipped with furniture (bed, closet, desk, and chair), NYU Shanghai WIFI, air conditioning, a private kitchen (fridge, water filter, kettle, induction cook top), a private bathroom, and a washing machine.

Upon move-in, students can purchase linen sets at a price of 350 RMB from the Tower 5 Resource Center. Each set includes a quilt, quilt cover, pillow, pillow cover, and bed sheet. For general information about Jingyao Hall, please check out our website .

There are several local supermarkets and shops nearby like HeMa, Carrefour, and Ikea. Students can also purchase daily necessities at local stores like H-Life Supermarket (荟选集市) just across the street from the residential hall, Lian Hua Supermarket (联华超市), or Watson’s. 

In addition, students have affordable food delivery and restaurant options in the nearby area. Ask your RA for guidance if you have any questions.

All kitchens are equipped with a cooktop, water filtration system, kettle, and fridge. All other kitchen supplies need to be purchased by the students. Students may purchase personal kitchen appliances as long as:

• the total wattage of all personal appliances does not exceed 3000W,
• the appliance is not an open-flame device and 3) the use of the appliances does not require power strip/extension cords.

All housing units are equipped with a private bathroom and private kitchen shared by a maximum of three students per apartment.

Please review the Furniture Policies (Pg. 13) and the Fire Safety Policies (Pg. 14) in the NYU Shanghai Student Conducts and Policies . In general, we advise students to wait to bring outside furniture until they have experienced the living space and after they have communicated with their roommate(s). 

Packages may be shipped directly to Jingyao Residence Hall, after move-in. Kindly do not send packages before the student has checked into the Residence Hall. To receive packages at Jingyao Residence Halls, please use the community mailroom (菜鸟) located between Tower 2 and Tower 3 or the smart lockers located in front of Tower 3. 

For shipping, please use the following address and format:  

• (English) Room XXXX, Tower X, No. 533 Jiming Road, Pudong New District, Shanghai, China, 200126 
• (Chinese) 上海市 浦东新区 济明路533弄 X号楼 XXXX 【200126】

NYU Shanghai does not provide summer storage and encourages our students to pack light when preparing for NYU Shanghai. However, if students would like to store their belongings over summer, NYU Shanghai has negotiated good terms with a private storage company which offers a discounted rate for our students. The storage vendor organizes collective storage drop-off dates at the end of the semester and pick-up dates at the start of the new school year. For individual queries, students may contact the Storage Vendor directly. For any help, please contact [email protected] .

To strengthen the bond of each cohort, first-year and sophomore students are required to live on campus for four semesters. Junior and senior students have the option to live on campus, but are not required to live on campus. Additionally, study away students are required to live on-campus during their study away time period, as specified by the Office of Global Programs. On-campus housing is available for all four years.

Students are allowed to stay in their room over all breaks during the academic semester. If students are signed up for both fall and spring semester housing, they can continue to stay in their room over Winter Break. If students are not signed up for housing for both semesters, they will be asked to move-out at the end of the semester (please refer to the Academic Calendar). 

There are three mobile phone service providers in China: China Telecom, China Unicom and China Mobile. You can find their service centers near the Jingyao residence hall. There are also several banks around campus such as Bank of China (BOC) and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) where you can easily access services in English. 

To make it easier for new students, we will invite these service vendors to campus during orientation to help new students sign up for local cell phone numbers and Chinese bank accounts. Students just need to bring their passport and some cash with them to campus.

We recommend that students first make a list of all the items they would like to bring and then decide whether they can find them in China. Chances are good that you will find them. When you start packing, the most important items to bring are clothing for all seasons (Shanghai can get very hot and very cold), any preferred or special toiletry products, cosmetics, and medication. 

In general, it should be noted that clothing and shoe sizes run small in China. Because of this, it may be difficult to find clothing or shoes that fit, or stores that carry plus sizes.

It can be hard to find cosmetics for diverse skin tones in China, so you might consider bringing extra from home

Check the voltage of your home country before you come to China. China uses 220V electricity, so if your country’s voltage is lower than 220V and you plan to bring an appliance from your home country (like a hair straightener, steamer, etc), you may need a voltage converter to use your appliance. While this is one option, we generally encourage students to buy the appliance in Shanghai, if possible. Electronics like computers, cell phones, gaming devices, etc usually do not need a voltage adapter since most are designed to accept a range of voltages. To see if your device will work in China, you should check your product specs to see if it will accept 220V. 

The main sockets used in Mainland China are Type A and Type I. Type A plugs have two holes of the same shape and size and are commonly used outside of Mainland China in countries like the United States, Mexico, Canada, Japan, Colombia, etc. Because of the way Type A plugs are designed in Mainland China they can also accept Type C and Type I plugs, which are widely used in Europe and South Korea. If you come from one of these countries, you should be able to use your two-pronged charger to charge or power your electrical appliances. Type I plugs have 3 holes and are commonly used in countries outside of Mainland China like Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, and Fiji.

Mainland China outlets look like this:

NYU Shanghai Public Safety organizes regular shuttle bus service between the Jingyao Residence Hall and the campus during the academic semester. These buses typically operate from 7:30 AM to 11:00 PM. The regular shuttle bus schedule will be announced at the beginning of each semester by the Department of Campus Safety. 

No. Alipay embeds a transportation mini program. After you link your bank card with Alipay, you can simply open the metro or bus mini program in Alipay, and scan the QR code to take the metros/buses. On move-in day, our staff and welcome leaders will guide the students to set the function up. 

Billing and payment deadline information for Academic Year 2024-2025 will be available in June 2024. You can visit the Bills, Payments and Refund webpage , or contact the Bursar Office at [email protected] . 

• International and U.S. students, please contact: [email protected] | +1-212-998-2838
• Chinese students, please contact:  [email protected]

There are 4 state owned banks in China. They are Bank of China (BOC), China Construction Bank (CCB), Agricultural Bank of China (ABC) and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC). They are all quite reliable banks. The university will invite representatives from local banks to assist students with bank account registration during orientation.

There is also an ICBC ATM machine located on the B2 floor North Building on the New Bund Campus where students can withdraw cash. Meanwhile, a BOC Foreign Currency Exchange machine is located on the First floor North Building on New Bund Campus where students can exchange foreign currency banknotes into RMB banknotes (maximum limit of RMB 2500 per transaction)

To open a Chinese bank account, you will need to have the following items prepared: a Chinese phone number, a passport with valid Chinese Visa, your student ID card, an admission letter, and 10-20 RMB in cash. You might also be asked for your social security number if you are from the U.S. It usually takes about 1-2 hours at the bank to finish all paperwork and open the account at the counter and it will take up to 3 weeks for the document reviewing process. 

Though it is not recommended to bring a large amount of cash, students may need anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000 RMB to cover the cost of their Health Check, transportation, and food in the first few weeks. It is recommended that students contact their banks before departure and bring a debit/credit card that can withdraw cash from local Shanghai ATMs to cover expenses in the first month.

This depends on the policies at each bank. Please also be aware that the NYU Shanghai Bursar Office does not accept payment with credit cards or checks.

To transfer money, you will need the following information:

• Branch name
• Bank address
• Bank account number
• Account holder’s name

A transfer error can occur if the name on the transfer does not match the name on the Chinese bank account. Please double-check the name (including capitalization and space) against the application receipt received when students opened the account.

We recommend that students get the MMR and Meningitis vaccines before they come to Shanghai. Although the vaccines are available in Shanghai, they are not administered by the Student Health Center, so it is much more convenient to get these at home.

This depends on the availability of the medication. Please contact the Student Health Center at [email protected] before students arrive in Shanghai if they take any medication and may need refills.

Shanghai Raffles Hospital is about 5 minutes away by car, and can serve International students in an emergency.

We have two full-time counselors and two part-time counselors on staff. In addition to our staff counselors, we can also refer students to expat mental health professionals in the Shanghai community. Students can schedule an appointment at our Student Health Center or speak with a mental or medical health professional 24/7 by calling the NYU Wellness Exchange (Toll free at (021) 2059-9999).

This depends, see click here for more details.

No. NYU Shanghai does not have meal plans. Instead, students may use cash or mobile payment to top up their campus card, which can be used in the cafeteria and cafe. The average cost for one meal at the NYU Shanghai cafeteria is 30 RMB.

In order to meet the needs of students from different countries, our cafeteria offers Chinese, Western, Halal, Vegetarian, and Vegan options. 

Besides the NYU Shanghai Cafeteria, there are 2 large malls located 8-10 minutes walking distance from the campus. Though generally more expensive than the NYU Shanghai Cafeteria, these malls have a wider range of Chinese and Western options. Food delivery is also readily available in Shanghai and there are multiple apps like Ele.Me, Sherpas, and Meituan that students, staff, and faculty often use to order food. 

When it comes to vegetarian options, China has plenty to offer. There are quite a few vegetarian restaurants in Shanghai which are at a reasonable price.  Since vegetables, beans and tofu products play an important role in Chinese cuisine, it is not difficult to find a vegetarian option in most of the restaurants. It is also a good idea to say “sucai” (vegetarian) as opposed to “bu yao rou” (no meat), as seafood is not considered as “rou” in China. 

To enjoy being a vegan in China, you will first need to be brave enough to enjoy Chinese food. Vegan restaurants are expensive in China, and they are few. But once you enjoy the Chinese food, you will find plenty of options. However, one thing you must consider is that most of the time, it’s hard to tell whether the dishes you order use animal-based oils, sauces, or broths in preparation. So you will need to be a bit flexible on it. It is also hard to find vegan breads in most of the bakery. Instead, you can try the steamed bun which is common for a Chinese breakfast. At the NYU Shanghai Cafeteria, all vegetarian and vegan food is clearly labeled. 

If you observe a halal diet while in Shanghai, you should have no problem finding halal or “Qingzhen Cai” (清真菜). Muslim restaurants and food stalls can easily be found near the NYU Shanghai Residence Halls and the Academic Building. In addition, the NYU Shanghai Cafeteria offers Halal options every day

Refer to the 2024-2025 Academic Calendar to check dates for school breaks. In general, students have a week-long fall break during Chinese National holidays in October, a month-long winter break between the fall and spring semesters, a week-long spring break in early April, and a summer break in June, July, and August.

You can refer to the 2024-2025 Academic Calendar for move out dates. Since different classes have finals on different days, some students will finish earlier than others.

New York University, as a nonsectarian institution, adheres to the general policy of including in its official calendar only certain legal holidays. Students who anticipate being absent because of any religious observance should notify their faculty in advance of such anticipated absence.

Faculty are asked, that whenever feasible, examinations and assignment deadlines not be scheduled on religious holidays. Any student absent from class because of religious beliefs shall not be penalized for any class, examination, or assignment deadline missed on that day or days. If examinations or assignment deadlines are scheduled, any student who is unable to attend class because of religious beliefs shall be given the opportunity to make up that day or days. No adverse or prejudicial effects shall result to any student who avails him/herself of the above provisions

Parent(s) should contact their kids for academic performance information. 

Students must sign a Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) Waiver Form to grant parent(s) access to their education records. In cases when students sign the waiver form, the student and parent must both be present at all conversations pertaining to student records.

Students have the option to provide other individuals (or proxies) select access to their Albert records.

To grant guests access to their records students must go to their Albert Student Center and follow the steps below:

Go to the “Personal Info” section

Click the “Guest User” link

Click “Albert Mobile Login”

Click “Manage Guest Users”    

Click “Add a Guest User”

Enter the name and email of the authorized guest user in the fields provided 

Select the specific components of the academic record the guest should be able to access

Once access has been granted, the authorized guest will receive an email listing the items to which they have been granted access.  This email will also include login credentials and instructions.  To access the information:

Click the link provided in the email

Select “Albert Mobile Login”

Enter the username and password provided in the email

Once signed-in you can see the student’s Albert Mobile Dashboard.  Use the left-hand navigation menu to view the student’s information

Working on campus allows a student to take advantage of the many resources provided by university departments and helps students gain real working experience. The Center for Career Development encourages students to develop professional skills starting in their first year by applying for an on-campus job. Students can use a few hours of their time and talent each week to contribute to the university and gain work experience. 

These positions will help students strengthen their résumés, develop important skills for future employment, and earn a monthly paycheck. In the past, some student workers made videos for their departments. Watch these videos to get a better sense of the student worker experience!

Departments hire new student workers at the beginning of each Fall semester. And the commitment for each position is usually one academic year. All job descriptions will be posted on Handshake . If students are interested in applying for student worker positions, please read the job descriptions in Handshake and apply accordingly. In addition to hiring at the start of the semester, some departments also open positions throughout the semester. If students have questions about specific positions, they should contact the representative for each job posting.

An On-Campus Job Fair is usually hosted during the first week of the fall semester where students can meet with on-campus employers in person. To better prepare for on-campus job applications, the CCD encourages all students to watch this On-Campus Job Orientation Video to learn more information about resume writing, interview preparation and on-site support from the career coaches.

Throughout the year, the Center for Career Development (CCD) hosts a variety of programs, workshops, fairs, and conferences. Please see the programs and events in the CCD recap calendars: 23 Fall , 23 Spring , and 22 Fall . These events provide relevant career related information, useful professional skills, and networking opportunities. Events include:

Career Fairs

Hosted twice a year, career fairs give students a convenient opportunity to meet a large number of organizations recruiting for internships and full-time positions. Representatives from various industries visit the campus, and provide information about their organization, and tell us the types of talent they are looking to recruit.

The CareerLab is an innovative center that takes advantage of the digital and technological power to stimulate students' self-learning in career development regardless of time and space. 

CareerLab is composed of Online Courses, Digital Toolkits, and Video Library. 

• Online Courses on BrightSpace provide essential and basic knowledge for Resume Writing, Interview Preparation, Internship Searching and Networking.
• In the Digital Toolkits, students have free access to a variety of career resources and platforms, from resume checkers like Hiration to interview and test preparation platforms like Big Interview and GF Assessment,  from networking platforms like LinkedIn and the Violet Network, to global job searching websites like Going Global and Handshake. 
• In the Video Library students can access more than 100 recordings of the CCD events to gain insider industry knowledge, and learn tips on career skill-building and advice from professionals and alumni.

Workshops, Panels, and Conferences

Every semester, the CCD offers professional development workshops, panels, and conferences to provide career skills and knowledge to students. 

The I AM LIMITLESS Conference is an annual event hosted by the Career Development Center. During the past I AM LIMITLESS Conferences, we had the distinct pleasure of welcoming social impact awards winners as keynote speakers and young NYU Shanghai alumni to campus to speak. Through this conference, we hope to support NYU Shanghai students in fostering a service mindset in all career paths, helping draw positive inspiration from professionals, alumni, and peers, and making  an impact in our neighborhood, community, and the world.

Employer Events

CCD collaborates with employers to host events throughout the year, including company information sessions, business competitions,  industry-specific conferences, group coaching with industry experts and career bootcamps. 

At these events, students gain insight into successfully applying to a company, extend their classroom knowledge to real-life business challenges, and expand their professional network. Students also have the chance to apply for semester and year-long career programs. Enrollment in these programs and interacting with peers, alumni, and staff will help you gain recognition as a student leader and build your career network.

Shanghai is as safe or safer than any major metropolis with more than 20 million residents. Locals are quite warm and friendly. It’s safe to walk on the streets at night. However, there may be pick-pockets on the streets, public transport, and in restaurants and bars. So always keep an eye on your belongings. Please also be aware of taxi scams, where drivers target people who don’t look like locals by inflating fares or taking a longer ride. Students will learn more of the safety tips via pre-departure online orientation in early August. 

Shanghai is extremely hot and humid in the summer from late June to early September. The average temperature is around 28°C (82°F). In the past years, the hottest day reached over 40°C (104°F). Since both the campus and the residence hall are covered by air-conditioning, you may feel cold while indoors.  Shanghai is also cold in the winter from late December to early March. It might occasionally snow in Shanghai during the winter, and average temperatures are around 5°C. There's a need to pack too many clothes as you can easily find familiar brands like the GAP, H&M, and Uniqlo in Shanghai.

The Office of Student Affairs plans and organizes a number of events and activities throughout the academic year. Orientation week is the first chance for first-year students to meet new peers, explore the city together, and make friends. 

Residential Assistants regularly organize floor events and weekend events which help residents get to know floormates better. Other ways to get involved include sports teams, clubs, student government, and participate in community service activities

To better prepare for first-semester registration in August, all incoming students will be required to complete an Online Advising Module to get their registration hold released and successfully enroll in classes when registration begins. 

Around mid-July, incoming international students will receive information about the Online Advising Module from the Summer Newsletter. Incoming Chinese students will receive the Online Advising Module information later in July. 

The Academic Advising Office will also send out reminder emails with information about academic planning, course registration procedures and policies, and Academic Peer Advising programs to better support student’s upcoming registration and academic adjustment

Students will receive a major interest survey in the summer. The Academic Advising Office will then assign incoming students to an academic advisor based on the student's survey submission. Before receiving the advisor assignments, students may reach out to [email protected] for academic-related questions.

The Academic Resource Center (ARC) offers academic support and resources for students enrolled in NYU Shanghai courses. Students are welcome to book appointments with Global Writing & Speaking Fellows and Writing & Speaking Learning Assistants (LAs) to develop English writing, speaking, listening, and reading skills. 

The Writing & Speaking Fellows also help students develop study habits and other academic skills such as time management, exam preparation, class participation, communication with professors, etc. 

Students are also welcome to work with course-specific Learning Assistants (LAs) to discuss course content, address problems in learning, review important concepts, and practice problem-solving.

The ARC offers a variety of workshops on English language skills and other academic skills throughout the semester. More information about ARC workshops can be found on the ARC Engage webpage .

NYU Shanghai is committed to providing equal educational opportunity and participation for students with disabilities. The NYU Shanghai Academic Accommodations Team works with students through collaboration with the NYU Moses Center for Student Accessibility to implement appropriate and reasonable accommodations that support equal access to a world-class education.

Students with disabilities may apply for academic accommodations by filling out an online application form . An Accessibility Specialist from the Moses Center will follow up with the student to discuss reasonable academic accommodations. Once approved for academic accommodations, the Academic Accommodations Team will provide onsite support for students needing exam accommodations (i.e., extended time, smaller proctored environment, etc.) and address any questions about academic accommodations. Check out the Student Resources to learn more about the application process and students’ frequently asked questions.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
