HEALTH AND WELLNESS Services That Support Our Students

We understand that to thrive in the classroom, students need to maintain their health and well-being outside of the classroom. The New School’s Student Health Service team can lend a hand, providing confidential, culturally sensitive comprehensive medical and counseling support. Resources include unlimited in-person and telehealth appointments for routine and urgent care (e.g., GYN, contraception, testing and treatment for STIs, and LGBTQ-specific healthcare) and immunizations (seasonal flu and COVID-19, MMR, and Tdap) as well as short-term individual counseling, support groups, and psychiatric care. Dedicated staff on campus provide services and can refer students for specialized care, including public health resources.

The university also offers wellness-promoting activities such as meditation classes, individual mindfulness sessions, workshops, and stress-relief events during hectic times like finals week.

For students looking to break a sweat, recreational activities for all levels of ability and interest abound. Offerings include club basketball, soccer, and volleyball; weekly yoga, dance, kickboxing, and rock climbing group fitness classes; intramural billiards and bowling; and regular off-campus excursions that enable students to get active outside of the city.
