Summer Workshops 2021 will be offered remotely (on-campus housing not available this year).
Living on Campus
Campus Housing
Students will stay in a residential hall on NYU’s main campus near Washington Square Park or Union Square Park and will live with other summer program students. NYU’s residential halls are co-ed, and each room or suite will have its own bathroom. Lounges are available for student study spaces and socializing, and each hall has a laundry room. Each floor has its own Program Assistant (P.A.), a NYU college student who will be your main resource and guide during the program.
The residence hall is led by a team of professional administrators who oversee building operations, supervise the P.A.s, help plan and execute the events and activities offered during the summer, and serve as an important resource for students whenever they have a question or need.
Curfew
All students living on campus must check-in to their residential hall no later than 11:00 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 12:00 a.m. Friday-Saturday, students may leave the hall after 7:00 a.m. each day. All students must be in their rooms and adhere to quiet hours at 1:00 a.m. nightly . Students are required to submit their NYUCard to the residence hall front desk each night by curfew in order to be in compliance.
Roommates
Living with someone else, getting to know your roommate, and learning how to respectfully share your space is one of the great benefits of living on campus as a college student . Because of limited space in the residential hall and the goal of the residential experience to allow students to broaden their experiences and meet new people, students are not allowed roommate requests.
Dining
Students will be automatically enrolled in a meal plan that gives students 10 meals per week. Students may sign up for a larger meal plan at an increased cost if they choose. Dining halls will be available to students seven days a week. Learn how to change a meal plan.
Leaving Campus
NYU does not have an enclosed campus. While students will be accompanied by faculty or program staff while on class and program-sponsored events or field trips, students can leave campus on their own during their off time if they choose . More information about the policies and rules for leaving campus is available in the NYU Summer High School Programs Handbook . Students, parents, and guardians are encouraged to carefully review the Handbook and discuss among themselves expectations for off-campus travel and safety in the city.
Overnight or Weekend Leave
Parents must submit advance notice if a residential student will be off-campus overnight or over a weekend if they are attending the program multiple weeks. Overnight Leave Forms can be found in the NYU Summer High School Programs Handbook (under Residential Rules and Policies). Forms are due at least 48 hours in advance of the student’s time away.
Move-In and Move-Out
Students may move in to the residence hall on the Sunday prior to class. We ask all students to move in no later than 2:00 p.m. That will give you enough time to settle into your room before attending orientation. Students cannot move into the residence hall before Sunday. If you arrive in New York City before the program begins, you should find your own accommodation in the city.
Students must move out by 12:00 p.m. on Saturday after the program ends. Students are not allowed to extend their stay.
Getting to Campus & Transportation

Campus Map
Program classes will meet at the NYU Education Building (35 W. 4th Street) or at Third North (75 Third Avenue). Students are encouraged to download the NYU Mobile App which includes a campus map. A map of campus is also available online.
