JOIN THE TISCH ADMITTED GRAD STUDENT COMMUNITY
We want you to make meaningful connections with other new graduate students before your program begins. That's why we launched the 2025 Admitted Tisch Grad Student Community - a place for you to connect with other admitted students as you prepare to start your Tisch graduate program.
By joining the community, you will have already met other students virtually and gotten to know each other by the time you start your program– it’s a great way to find your people, settle in, and feel more at home here. You will also be able to chat to department and admissions ambassadors to ask questions about enrolling at NYU.
How to Join
Create your profile and join the community here. You'll ONLY be able to register using your NYU email address.
You can download the Unibuddy app from the Apple Store or Google Play.
We are so thrilled to have you join the PS family, and we can’t wait to welcome you on campus in the fall! Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any question to performance.studies@nyu.edu.
