The best way to experience NYU is to visit our campus.
NYU is located in the heart of New York City's famed Greenwich Village. Our campus surrounds Washington Square Park, and is woven into a neighborhood of charming row houses and cobblestone streets that are dotted with outdoor cafes and unique shops.
Our campus visit program lasts approximately two hours, and features an admissions officer-led information session, followed by a one hour, student-led tour. We welcome students, families, and guests to join us. Please reserve your session in advance through our online reservation system.
The Welcome Center is open most weekdays from 9am-5pm and Saturdays from 10am-4pm, offering tours and information sessions throughout the day. The Welcome Center is also open to walk-in guests on Sundays from April through October, 10am-4pm. Many information sessions and tours begin here; please see the check-in instructions in your confirmation e-mail.
