Housing Options
NYU will try to arrange housing in NYU Residence Halls for all exchange students who meet the application deadline.

NYU housing is not guaranteed for fall semester students due to the high demand on campus. In this case, NYU will provide alternate short-term housing information to students.

Visiting students are placed in apartment-style residence halls that are either within walking distance from campus or commutable via the free NYU shuttle bus.

Students cannot request a specific residence hall due to high housing demand by full-time students.

Visit the NYU Housing website for additional information.

Local transportation

NYU offers free shuttle buses to NYU buildings and residence halls. New York City subway and bus service is accessible to all parts of the city at $2.25 per one-way trip. Please note that this fare is scheduled to increase to $2.50 in March 2013.

Health Insurance (2013-2014 rates not yet available)
 

The 2012-2013 year-long annual fee for students enrolled in the Comprehensive plan is $3,354

Fall semester only: $1,295

Spring semester only: $2,059 (higher because it also covers summer)

If students have thier own health insurance, and it meets certain standards, they may appeal to have the NYU insurance waived.

Students can also purchase supplemental coverage to cover services at the NYU Student Health Center (SHC) only, which requires that other health insurance coverage be maintained for services received outside of SHC. The deadline to enroll or waive coverage is September 30, 2013.

Full year students: Once you select your insurance plan in the fall it cannot be changed in the spring. Your health insurance plan is locked in for the full year. If you want to downgrade from the Comprehensive plan to the Basic plan, you must do it by the Fall semester deadline.

Required immunizations: All students must show proof of immunizations before arrival.

Immunization Requirements
New York State has implemented immunization requirements for all university students. As a result you must submit your immunization paperwork to the NYU Health Center before you arrive at NYU. You must also bring copies of your immunization paperwork with you for your exchange semester. Students who do not submit their paperwork will not be allowed to check into NYU Housing and will also be dropped from their classes.

Health Requirements and Forms

Please read the Health Requirements for Students. The NYU Student Health Center may also contact you directly via email or regular mail about these requirements.

Meningitis Response Form

All students are required to show immunization against meningitis. If you have not yet received the meningitis vaccine you will be required to get it.


MMR Immunization Form

All students must be vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella. Sometimes vaccinations for these three illnesses are combined into one vaccination called MMR. Other times vaccinations are given for each illness separately.

You have two options for showing proof that you have been vaccinated for measles, mumps and rubella:

1. You can have your doctor fill out and sign the student immunization record.

2. If you have separate documentation for each immunization, you can submit those forms instead of sending in the student immunization record. Forms from your doctor must be signed and/or stamped by your doctor. These forms can include:

A baby vaccination record book of your 2 MMR vaccine dates (measles, mumps and rubella) (signed and stamped)

A medical certificate from your family doctor showing your immunization information (signed and stamped)

A lab report (titers), indicating that you are immune to measles, mumps and rubella. (signed and stamped)

Student Health History

Note: Once you arrive at NYU, you will also need to visit the Student Health Center to complete a Student Health History Form.
