THRIVING IN Community

LIFE IN NYC Big City. Small Neighborhood.

New York may be large and dynamic, but its size and vibrancy come from the intimate, close-knit neighborhoods that make up the city. Our neighborhood is one of those.

The New School is located in historic Greenwich Village, in downtown New York. Artistic and progressive to its core, Greenwich Village is an ideal place to live for intelligent and creative young students who want to make a difference in their community.

ANYONE WHO WANTS TO CHANGE THE WORLD SHOULD LIVE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AS VIBRANT AND INSPIRING AS GREENWICH VILLAGE.

Moving between the 20 buildings that make up our campus, students will be able to stroll tree-lined streets, get to know their diverse neighbors, meet friends at the centrally located University Center, and establish identities as engaged citizens, all while getting an excellent education.

Student safety is of the utmost importance to us. Although New York City is one of the safest big cities in the United States, we are always mindful of the personal safety of everyone studying and working at the university as well as those visiting our campus.

All students, faculty, and staff must present their ID cards to enter our buildings. Visitors to the university are required to sign in and show photo identification at the security desk to gain access to our buildings.

The Campus Safety office is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Please visit newschool.edu/campus-safety to view our campus safety statistics.
