On behalf of the Office of International Students and Scholars we welcome you to Polytechnic Institute of NYU. We are a home to over 1200 graduate and undergraduate international students and scholars from 60 countries. Our office is here to help you make a successful transition to our community. We will make every effort to be your home away from home, offer you a warm and nourishing environment and help you address some of the challenges you might encounter during your stay at Poly. We encourage you to visit our office, ask questions and seek guidance and advice.
Best Wishes and good luck with your studies!
