One belongs to New York instantly, one belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years. -Tom Wolfe

The Admissions Office wants to ensure you are well prepared for registration and orientation. Please make sure to read through the orientation guide. If you have any questions at all please feel free to contact the admissions office. We are looking forward to seeing each and every one of you when the campus reopens. We hope you come to love the city of New York as much as we do.
