NYU graduating class size?

Hi there! Does anyone know the approximate size of NYU's graduating class each year? I'm just curious about how large the student body is and what kind of atmosphere I can expect if I decide to apply.

NYU has a large student body, and the number of undergraduate students graduating each year varies depending on the specific school and program. On average, NYU has around 7,000 to 8,000 undergraduate students graduating annually. This total class size makes NYU one of the largest private universities in terms of student body size in the United States.

In terms of atmosphere, NYU is known for its urban setting in the heart of New York City. With a large, diverse population of students from across the globe, the campus offers a vibrant and bustling environment. You can expect an active campus life with numerous opportunities to engage in clubs, activities, social events, and volunteer opportunities.

Keep in mind, though, that NYU's campus might not have the traditional "college feel," as its buildings are spread throughout parts of Manhattan, primarily around Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village. However, for those who enjoy independent city life and the countless benefits that come with living in New York City, NYU can be a great fit.

If you end up applying to NYU and want tips on how to maximize your chances of acceptance, check out this blog post from CollegeVine, which breaks down how to tackle their school-specific supplemental essays: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-nyu-essays/. After all, NYU is quite a selective school, and the essays are often just the thing that distinguishes one talented applicant from another.

Good luck with your college search!
