New York University Top Questions

I honestly don't know if there are any. The school is incredibly large and so it would be difficult to pinpoint just a few activities or groups as most popular.

Greek life is very small and is not a prevalent part of the social life here. Most people make friends through their dorm, freshman year. The dating scene is very bad for girls considering 60{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the students are female and the large LGBTQ community. You won't meet all that many straight, single, available guys, but I guess that's makes it easier for them! NYU is not a big party school so most people go to bars and clubs on weekends, so most students feel the need to have a fake id.

Throughout my three years attending NYU, I have been a part of many social and cultural groups on campus such as KCCC (a Christian campus ministry), Korean Student Association, F4NK (Freedom 4 North Korea), ACU (Asian Cultural Union), and Pre-dental Outreach. There are so many clubs at NYU and many freshmans can come explore these options and see whats available by going to the Club Fest held the first week of classes each semester. Depending on which dorm you live in, it can be social or not. Some dorms have an open door policy not by regulations but because residents living there want to while others are completely closed all the time, leaving no room to ever get to know your neighbor or floormates. My freshman year at NYU, I lived in rubin where everyone was always leaving their doors open and as a floor we got to know everyone. We even did activities as a floor together and it was such a fun experience. If you didn't already know, there are a lot of gays here but I believe the majority is still straight. But in terms of dating, I only know a couple of people who "date" as in a relationship, while most remain single and play the field. But if you want to date I mean its really no different than any other place, only in the sense that you have more places to actually go on dates, but it's certainly not the only thing to do. I also find that most people enjoy being single here because everyone is majority very independent. If you don't find a boyfriend or girlfriend at NYU, you don't have to worry because we basically have the entire city to look for me. We're not limited to just finding one at NYU and I can completely agree with it! :) I met a lot of my closest friends from classes, library (yes, it happens a lot!) and school clubs. People here party mostly on the weekend: Thursdays, Fridays and/or Saturdays. Our school is not so big on frats and sororities but after your freshman year where you've experienced frat parties, you tend to go to clubs in the city where its "age appropriate".

Unlike a lot of other colleges, Greek Life at NYU is not as prevalent; however, there are sororities and fraternities. Because it's hard to make friends at NYU, a lot of people join Greek Life in order to meet new people and make friends. Athletic events are also basically non-existant at NYU, so there are rarely ever sports-related social events. Because NYU doesn't have a campus, though, students have the opportunity to find entertainment and friends outside of the university as well. Freshmen dorms are lively in the beginning of the year, which is when most people find most of their friends. I'm currently a part of NYU's newspaper, the Washington Square News, and though it is a lot of work, it's a great place to meet people and build your resume.

Here at NYU, there is literally a club for every possible interest/hobby/culture/religion. Wherever you want to get involved, you can, whether it be through your residence halls, student government, student clubs, sports teams, or Greek Life.

Here at NYU, there is literally a club for every possible interest/hobby/culture/religion. Wherever you want to get involved, you can, whether it be through your residence halls, student government, student clubs, sports teams, or Greek Life. I am a very proud member of the Greek community here at NYU- falsely classified as small and insignificant, we are actually THE largest undergraduate student organization on campus and our community does some of the best programming and philanthropic work that this campus sees. The Greek culture here differs from other schools as we don't have a 'typical' campus, but we still maintain many of our Greek traditions such as skit/song/dance (held in our amazing Skirball center for the performing arts), Greek Night, Greek Week, and more. There are certainly some anti- Greeks on this campus, but that comes from being uninformed more than anything else. Chances are, you have class with several Greeks but don't know that they're in a fraternity or sorority because not everyone can wear letters all the time because they are coming from work and internships in between classes. Also, there are so many Greeks involved with other clubs and organizations as well: we have a tons of Greeks working as RAs, involved in student government, and a ton of other student activity clubs. I have a love for the Greek community as a whole after serving as the Inter-Greek Council President this past year, and also for my own sorority of 90+ amazing girls that have helped make me the person I am today. The diversity and the uniqueness of our community constantly surprise and impress me- there is no cookie cutter mold here, which makes our community that much stronger and special. I am a shameless advocate for the Greek community here because I have been a first-hand witness to the amazing development of some truly amazing leaders in this community and the endless networking opportunities that come out of Greek life here are priceless. Greeks may like to have fun here and be social, as it is college after all, but all of my friends in Greek Life all have some amazing career college accomplishments- some are starring on Broadway shows, some working at the top banks in the country, some have started their own successful companies and more. Yeah, you don't have to go Greek here in order to have an enjoyable undergraduate experience here as there really are so many different organizations you can become involved with, but I cannot imagine my time in college without my sorority and fellow Greeks. I cherish all the memories I have made here and an integral part of my college experience is heavily due to Greek Life here.
