NYU Tours and Information Sessions
Though NYU is located in the heart of Greenwich Village, students and their families are often surprised at the sense of campus they encounter when they visit. Charming rowhouses line cobblestone streets, and the neighborhood is dotted with outdoor cafes and unique shops. The NYU campus itself surrounds Washington Square Park, the quintessential "urban quadrangle" we share with the city of New York.
Your campus visit begins at the Welcome Center, where NYU offers information sessions, campus tours, and an opportunity to speak with a member of the Admissions counseling staff. The Welcome Center is open on weekdays, 9am to 5pm; Saturdays, 10am to 4pm; and Sundays, April through October, 10am to 4pm.
Information sessions and tours of the NYU campus are offered multiple times a day, Monday through Saturday. Reserve a space online by visiting the NYU Visit Us page.
