NYUbie Starter Guide
Hello and welcome to BetterNYU, a website with information on what NYU students really need to know to take advantage of everything that their school has to offer them. If you're a freshman or have never visited the site before, then this is a good starting point.
Below you'll find just a few helpful resources to get you going. Afterwards, please feel free to browse the site! The goal of this site is to sift through all the information and perks relevant to NYU students, and provide it straight to you, without the needlessness of throwing different information across different NYU websites.
Discounts
Your NYU ID allows you to get discounts on tons of software, stores, and attractions. For a full and comprehensive list of the grand majority of disocunts you get as an NYU student, go to the General Discounts List. More discounts are peppered throughout the "Deals and Discounts" tab.
Professor Evaluations
Most students eventually come across ratemyprofessor.com, but did you know certain schools of NYU offer their course/teacher evaluations for public viewing? visit the Teacher Evaluations page to see if your school of NYU is one of them.
Textbooks
Renting has recently become a popular option when looking for textbooks, as well as buying international versions of textbooks for much cheaper prices. Bobst also has more textbooks than they let on. When that doesn't work, visit the textbook page to find the best deal.
Career Development
Having work experience by the time you graduate is important, so you better start hunting now for internships. NYU graduate students also have the option of participating in any of the research labs that NYU maintains. Visit the Career Development page for more information.
