We are excited to welcome you to Shanghai for Admitted Student Weekend. This immersive program offers a firsthand look at life at NYU Shanghai and the opportunity to begin envisioning your future here. You will tour campus and the residence halls, learn about academic and student life resources, connect with current students, future classmates, faculty, and university leadership, and explore Shanghai and Chinese culture.
This weekend marks the beginning of your NYU Shanghai journey and a chance to start feeling at home in our community. We hope you will join us.
This invitation is extended to admitted students and up to two guests (parents or family members aged 18+). Participants under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a legal guardian. Please note that participants are responsible for arranging their own travel to and from Shanghai, as well as their accommodations.
Additional program details and registration information will be released during the last week of March. In the meantime, you may review last year’s agenda below for reference.
