Which New Schooler Are You Most Like?

New School students live and study in the center of one of the world's most celebrated cities. See it for yourself by exploring our New York City campus or by joining one of our many online events and information sessions.
The Welcome Center

Our Welcome Center building is located at 72 Fifth Avenue, on the corner of 13th Street, and is currently closed to external visitors. We will reopen for external visitors on Monday, February 21.
After February 21, all visitors must:
Present proof of vaccination (e.g., CDC card—hard copy or picture, Excelsior Pass) to Welcome Center staff at the front desk
Attest that they are currently experiencing no symptoms and are not actively in quarantine or isolation due to a positive test result, exposure, or recent travel
Wear a mask in all university buildings and indoor spaces for the duration of their visit
Visitors with appointments to meet with Admission or participate in a campus tour must also present proof of a negative PCR test result no older than seven days before the visit date.
Visitors who do not meet these requirements will not be allowed to stay in the building.
For the spring semester, our in-person offerings will be limited to pre-scheduled admission counseling appointments and campus tours accommodating up to four families. Only those with appointments will be able to tour campus or meet with admission staff. Visitors without appointments may interact with Welcome Center staff briefly (up to ten minutes) within the Welcome Center lobby.
UPDATE, January 10, 2022—Due to recent increases in COVID-19 cases in New York City and among our community, all non-essential and non-academic in-person activities on campus are currently suspended. The University Welcome Center will reopen at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, February 21. Those interested in learning more about our academic programs, admission requirements, or campus life are invited to connect online with a Welcome Center student assistant through our Welcome Center Virtual Desk. Virtual desk hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST Monday through Friday. No appointment is necessary.

- Virtual Campus Tour
  
  Take our virtual campus tour to discover spaces that aren't available on an in-person campus tour, such as classrooms, residence halls, making facilities, performance venues, and more. Even better, it's available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in seven languages.

- In-Person Tours
  
  Due to ongoing concerns about COVID-19, we are offering only a limited number of pre-scheduled student-led campus tours this spring. Only those with appointments will be able to tour campus.
  Although we wish we could welcome everyone who would like to tour our campus, doing so at this time is not feasible.
  UPDATE, January 10, 2022—Due to recent increases in COVID-19 cases in New York City and among our community, tours will not be available through February 20, 2022. Tours for the spring term will resume on February 21. Those tours will be posted online for registration on January 24.
  If you are unable to schedule an in-person tour, we encourage you to take our virtual tour and connect with us through one of our many additional online events.
