Congratulations--we are looking forward to welcoming you as a member of our NYU community and as one of our Fulbrighters!

The International Student Hub (I-Hub) is your central resource for everything related to being an international student at New York University. We are a collaboration between the Office of Global Services (OGS) and the Center for Student Life (CSL) dedicated to support your success and well-being at NYU. 

Most of your questions related to academics would be directed to your hosting academic department. Your immigration questions should be directed to IIE.

To contact IIE for any and all of your immigration-based matters: You can find all the information about your Fulbright Program at Fulbright Online. The Resources section has the contact information (email and phone) for your IIE advisor. It also lists the emergency line if a serious emergency arises outside of business hours. The website should be your go-to for all IIE Fulbright-related questions/documents/policies, etc.

If you’ve arrived in New York, we hope you are adjusting well! If you haven’t yet, we wish you safe travels. This message is the seventh and final of an email series for new international students (catch up on previous emails if you missed any). These emails contain very important information and resources to help you transition to life at NYU and in the US.

In this message, we include some practical tips and resources to keep in mind as you move through your transition to NYU. 

Curious about how to get a US bank account? Wondering how to secure an internet service provider and print or scan documents? Check out our New Student FAQ page to ease all your new student concerns.

When entering a new culture, it is very typical to experience a rollercoaster of emotions, ranging from excitement and curiosity, to frustration and loneliness. While the dips or low points may seem intense, it is important to know that you are not alone, and that over time, things will get better. Check out our resources for academic and cultural adjustment to understand the stages of adjusting in detail, and to get tips on managing the barriers it presents.

Additional resources and advice can be found in our previous emails to you (i.e., Safety in the City), and through the webinars in our recorded OGS workshops page.

Getting started on the right foot in your career can make all the difference. The Wasserman Center for Career Development is here to help make those first steps as easy as possible. Log in to your Handshake account to schedule a career coaching appointment and access upcoming events, job postings, and employer presentations. 

Our International Student Writing Support webpage has multiple resources that can help you:

Check out the videos and resources below made by international students for international students for further information on adjusting to life at NYU.

The Journey to NYU Student Advice Videos are made by students for students. In these videos, undergraduate and graduate students share their advice to incoming students on a range of topics that will help you in your journey to NYU and NYC. Students have shared their tips on finding housing, navigating transit, career growth, academic adjustment and getting involved in the community. All resources mentioned in the videos are linked at our Journey to NYU Student Advice Videos web page.

NYU Engage is a hub for clubs and organizations on campus. Once you log in with your NetID, you can find clubs you’re interested in, discover upcoming events, and connect with student leaders. Also, don’t forget to check out NYU Welcome. You're bound to find some like-minded people!
