ACTIVITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS Communities Beyond the Classroom

At The New School, we realize that nurturing well-rounded students involves more than academics. That’s why we sponsor a variety of social, cultural, leadership, educational, and recreational clubs and programs designed to help students become engaged citizens with varied interests. There’s no shortage of groups and activities, from informal clubs to leadership programs, art shows to film festivals, and live performance groups to social service organizations. We also encourage students to start groups if one geared to their particular interest does not currently exist.

THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OPPORTUNITIES TO GET INVOLVED AND MEET NEW PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM AND OFF CAMPUS.

In addition to hosting groups and clubs, The New School also sponsors hundreds of public events on campus and online each year. Students have the opportunity to participate in public dialogues and learn from visiting speakers who include top scholars and activists, famous and emerging creatives, and industry leaders and government officials, such as Judith Butler, Tarana Burke, Raoul Peck, Ralph Lauren, and UN Secretary General António Gutteres.

HOUSING AND DINING Accommodating and Conveniently Located

The New School’s student housing provides a supportive environment that eases the transition from home to college. Students enhance their education by learning to live independently and build communities through shared experiences.

OUR STUDENT HOUSING PROMOTES ACADEMIC SUCCESS, CULTURAL AWARENESS, AND SUPPORT FOR SUSTAINABILITY THROUGHOUT CAMPUS AND NEW YORK CITY.

We offer four on-campus housing options: Loeb Hall, 301 Residence Hall, 20th Street Residence, and Kerrey Hall, located in the University Center. All residence halls have gender-inclusive living options; feature 24–7 front desk security and live-in staff; are fully furnished, with air-conditioning, high-speed wireless Internet access, and cable television; and contain laundry facilities, a mailroom, a lounge, and an art studio.

The New School provides students with a dining experience that’s almost as good as home cooking. Students who live on campus during the fall and spring semesters are automatically enrolled in The New School’s meal program, which offers students great flexibility in what and when they eat and provides meals for those with various dietary restrictions and preferences.

Incoming freshmen who submit their HOUSING application by June 2, 2023, are given priority placement in campus residences. The dining program sources its food from LOCAL FARMS in New York City and upstate New York.
