Global Studies-NewYork Location

Accommodations

Students will stay in housing provided by NYU. Rooms are double occupancy and some students may be assigned to share larger suites with other students who are not in the UCLA program. Students will have access to community kitchens in the residence hall.

Students need to provide their own linens (beds are extra-long twins), pillows, towels and dishware/cookware if they plan to use the kitchen.

Participants must complete an NYU Housing Application and submit a signed copy to the Summer Sessions Office. The application will be available at a later date.

UCLA Summer Sessions reserves the right to change housing location. Should this be necessary, we will arrange comparable accommodations elsewhere.

Meals

A seven meals per week meal plan is included at NYU. Students will have access to kitchens to prepare their own meals.

If you have strict dietary requirements, this program may not be able to accommodate your needs. Please let us know when you apply for this program if you have special dietary needs as well as any physical or medical conditions. We will advise you accordingly.

Excursions

Tentative excursions planned for the program include the following:

UN Headquarters: tour of the General Assembly, Security Council, etc.
UN Development Programme offices
UN Population Fund offices
Human Rights Watch
Open Society Institute (Soros Foundation)
Center for Reproductive Rights

The final excursion itinerary will be distributed to participants.

Limited free time is built into this program for independent sightseeing. If you plan on traveling extensively, we recommend that you budget additional spending money.
