I'm looking into NYU for college and I came across something called 'Admitted Students Day.' I'm curious as to what goes on during this event. If anyone has ever attended, could you please share your experience?
NYU's Admitted Students Day is designed to give admitted students an in-depth look at the university and what it's like to be a student there. It's the university's chance to say "congratulations" and "welcome" to the admitted students, while helping them make the final decision about whether to enroll.
The schedule typically includes information sessions on housing, dining, financial aid, and other campus life essentials. These sessions usually involve university staff presenting the main points, followed by a question-and-answer period for students and their families.
You can expect tours of the campus and the surrounding area, which is especially helpful for students unfamiliar with New York City. You may have the opportunity to tour a residence hall too.
A major component is typically the academic overview. Here, you would meet with faculty, current students, and sometimes alumni from your intended major or department. This gives you a sense of the academic culture, workload, and opportunities for research or internships in your field.
There might also be special events, like panel discussions with current students or professors, performances by student groups, and informal mixers where you can meet your possible future classmates.
Keep in mind that the actual schedule can vary from year to year, and depending on whether you're looking at a specific school within NYU, the activities and sessions may vary too. It's always a good idea to check the specific schedule for the Admitted Students Day you plan to attend.
