Precollege Talent Show
Precollege students had a very entertaining and educational week! Visiting the World Trade Center Memorial was an amazing opportunity. Although some have been to the memorial in Pennsylvania, being on the grounds of the Twin Towers was a very moving experience for many. On Monday, students had a chance to see what living in New York City in the early 90's was like while watching the Broadway musical Rent. The music was great, but students also learned about New York City and the changes that have occurred since they were born! Students were also able to delve into the more distant past of the city by visiting the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. They then had a week filled with games and fun, helping to prepare them for the Olympics! Students had the opportunity to watch the Mets play the Nationals and to play some games themselves at Dave and Buster's. The students are now ready for a weekend full of Olympics viewing, starting with the Olympics Opening Ceremony viewing party tonight!

There were several different events for the students to pick from this week. By now students should know New York like the back of their hands! Students had the opportunity to explore Brooklyn by attending the Flea Market, experience Times Square mania, and view the city from above at the top of the Empire State Building. Others had the option of brushing up on their sciences at the Museum of National History or fill up on culture at the Guggenheim. The NYU College Fair was a success! Over 90 colleges and 350 students attended despite the torrential downpour of an impressive summer storm! We hope students were able to talk to representatives from institutions that they were interested in, as well as learn about colleges they may not have considered before. We did a lot this week, and we look forward to another full and exciting Week Four!
NYU Precollege is halfway complete! That means it is midterm time! Students are enjoying the challenge of college courses, but a little stress may also be felt as they tackle midterms. We think this is the perfect time for residential students to receive care packages and commuter students to be treated to their favorite meal or a warm plate of homemade cookies! It reminds them that while they are having an amazing time in college, they are missed by and cared for by those back home.
Procedure for Care Packages
Care packages may be mailed to:
(STUDENTS NAME)
Weinstein Hall
New York University
5-11 University Place
New York, NY 10003
Please send all packages via a service provider (UPS, USPS, FEDEX, DHL, etc.). New York University policy states that, for security purposes, employees CANNOT accept packages that are not sent via a service provider or delivered in person. Although it may be convenient for you to send someone to Weinstein Hall, please understand our dedication to your student's safety and inability to accept such packages.
We look forward to students telling us what they've gotten in their care packages!
NYU's annual College Fair will take place next Wednesday, July 18th from 5-7 p.m. on the 10th floor of the Kimmel Center for University Life at 60 Washington Square South. There are no other Precollege activities happening that night so students have ample time to meet with school representatives of interest.
The NYU College Fair is a public event! It is open to anyone. If you know a high school student or parent who is interested in attending a college fair, please pass the information along! Do keep in mind that even though the event is open, we highly encourage all Precollege students to attend as well!
