Founded in 1831, New York University is a large, private, coeducational research university in urban New York City. NYU is known for its dedication to equal access and opportunity, having been one of the first institutions to accept immigrants and women. Located in downtown New York, NYU is the opposite of a typical “bubble” campus: with no walls or gates separating them from the city, NYU students—while living on campus—are truly members of the New York City community.
