Admitted Student Weekend 2025

Friday, April 25 - Saturday, April 26

We are thrilled to welcome you to Shanghai! Join us for an immersive weekend designed to help you get to know your new home. Enjoy campus tours, explore Shanghai and experience Chinese culture, learn about campus resources, and connect with current students, future classmates, faculty, and campus leadership—and much more! This weekend is your chance to start feeling at home at NYU Shanghai—if you can make it, Admitted Student Weekend is the place to be!

This invitation is extended to admitted students and their guests (up to two parents/family members aged 18+). Please note that you are responsible for arranging your own transportation to and from Shanghai. While students traveling without a parent or family member are required to stay on campus, all students have the option to reside in the residence hall for the duration of the program.

Check out the agenda of events below, register on Home Base, by Sunday, April 6, 2025, and book your travel so we can meet you before the school year begins!
