Where can I find resources for housing and living in New York?
Whether you live on or off campus, are here for the summer, or are living in faculty housing, you will find yourself living "in and of" New York City. Manhattan's vibrant Greenwich Village neighborhood is home to many of NYU's campus buildings.
How do I find housing?
To help students get started with determining where to live, how to get around, and how to enjoy New York, Wagner created a neighborhood map of where most students live, a list of apartment search and housing resources, and several resource links recommended by other students.
How can I check my progress to ensure that I'm ready for graduation?
The Registrar's office sends a Graduation Checksheet to all students who applied for graduation. Students should review this checksheet for accuracy and/or missing degree requirements and contact their appropriate program administrator for assistance.
