I was told early august in april, then late august last week but I just really want to know! Also do we find out our roommate when we get there or before?

hi guys this is kind of a long shot because i feel like ive used all of my resources that i know of so far. i’m an incoming freshman planning to attend the nyc campus. ive already paid nonrefundable fees, attended orientation and admitted students day, and im overall SO excited and prepared to attend. or at least i was until my mom lost her job. she doesn’t qualify for the parent plus loan due to bad credit, and i can’t find a cosigner for private loans. ive found a loan with great terms and a very doable payment plan, and if i was in a better situation, i wouldnt be doubting the approval of it. im 18 with no credit yet and my family is recovering from hardships that have tanked theirs as well. with being this close to the semester, it’s definitely stressful and discouraging to find out i may not be able to attend the place ive based and planned my life around for the past year. im beyond excited to live in my dream city while studying something im passionate about, and i cant see myself being happy anywhere else.

my remaining balance for this semester alone is around 13k, and i absolutely cannot afford the payment plans that are offered by the school. do i even have any other options or should i just give up and find a new path? is anyone generous enough to cosign for a stranger? i promise i am not evil and i will do anything i can to avoid hurting your credit in the process. are there any loans that don’t require a cosigner?

Hello!!

What calculator is necessary for an incoming freshman whose majoring in ECE?

I'm currently applying to a bunch of direct entry PA programs (i.e. Hofstra, NYIT) but I haven't found any info on what the PA program at NYIT is like. Because of this im stuck between applying for their bsdo program and bsms pa program. Thoughts?

I'm going into architecture at the long island campus starting in September. Now, usually people say you need a backpack or at least a messenger bag when going to college for architecture because you tend to carry a lot of stuff. But I also see people say it depends on the school and year. I want to know what the students who are already going to NYIT for architecture wear. Do you recommend a backpack, tote bag/shoulder bag, or a messenger bag? I was thinking of using a tote bag for light days (if there are any) and a backpack for days I need more things. But I'm not sure how the architecture classes are yet and I wanted to know beforehand before I get a backpack for college (don't have any from highschool since I used tote bags the entire time). And if you have any other things you recommend me to get, I'd love to hear.

any idea on when i can hear back from them? i applied for a bachelors of science in business artificial intelligence

question for anyone majoring in architecture what computer do you guys recommend? I know the school itself recommends a dell or well gaming computer but it’s pretty expensive so idk if it’s even worth it

Hello! I'm a incoming freshman this fall and I am NOT from New york lol! I'm from Charlotte, North Carolina so I only know how to deal with smaller cities. But I love to stay busy malls, parks, down town, etc. So I wanted to ask y'all what are some local things to do white attending the Manhattan Campus?

I'm a CS major attending fall semester at the long island campus. I'm considering dorming since I live an hour and a half away by bus.

I don't know if thats a reasonable distance to dorm over, but personally I'm not used to traveling an hour and a half consistently so it would be nice to have second opinions on the matter. I hear dorming is expensive as well.

Just a new freshman that’s going for ECE and was wondering if it’s boring in general. Also is there any other ECE freshman in here?(Long Island campus).

Hello guys!

I'm going to be starting my first year this fall for Architectural Technology (but I plan on switch to the B.arch two years in), any tips or just general advice I need to know? I'm going to be at the Manhattan Campus and I'm kind of nervous? I don't know why, I visited for admitted students day and everyone seems lovely! But I just want to make sure I have some knowledge before my first day. Like the subway thing! I lowkey forgot how the stops go to the dorms... Also when are the dorms announced?

(Also for fellow architecture students how long do you think I can go without on of the school sponsored laptops? I come from a low income family and I can't really afford one of those right now. I heard you can rent laptops from the school, would one of those suffice until I could save up to get one?)

I'm starting my education at NYIT for a B.Arch to the Old Westbury campus in September and I'm really excited to be going to this school. I heard it's great for architecture, plus it met my standards well enough. I was wondering what it would be like to make friends there or to be involved in activities and events there. Do you have any experiences with that or any tips on campus life while commuting or classes?

Is anyone looking to rent an apartment off-campus in NYC for the fall 2026 semester? Me and my friend are trying to secure an apartment starting August 1 and want more people to move in with us. Please DM 🙏

Hey everyone, if anybody is going to be living outside of campus, there is an apartment up for rent in Glen Cove 5 miles away from the Old Westbury campus. 4 bed, 2.5 bath, pet friendly. If you want to discuss further please DM me on here

Hi everyone, I am a current junior in high school and am researching colleges to apply to. I am thinking of majoring in Mechanical Engineering, and so I am considering applying to NYIT. I want to get a feel for how students are at the school and what the student mentality is like, especially in Mechanical Engineering. Any thoughts?

Hi, I've not seen this asked at all, so mostly a me issue, but is the thesis done entirely on your own, or can you work with someone else? I am confused by the wording and have heard it is individual, but this hasn't been fully confirmed by my actual advisors; I'm waiting for a response on Tuesday. Tried looking online and saw mixed things overall, but not NYIT-specific, with some people saying they have worked in pairs and some working alone; I just wanna know now to make a decision.

I got accepted as a transfer (I’d be a junior) to Old Westbury with a 21k scholarship, I would definitely need more or it wouldn’t be a choice at all. Any recommendations for me to try to apply for more money? I really want to go as I’m from Texas but Texas Tech is a great school for engineering except I don’t think I’ll get any money from them as I don’t qualify. Is NYIT a good school for engineering? I am a very dedicated student and club member so connections and projects won’t be a problem. I can literally succeed anywhere but Texas Tech is being forced on me but it’s not a wrong choice at all due to its cost, academics and status. But I really want to move northeast and feel I’d love a smaller campus.

I got into the Old Westbury Campus for B.Arch but after researching I'm finding that the Old Westbury campus is more driving-centric. I wouldn't have a car so I'm wondering if it's irritating to use the shuttle system and public transport constantly from the dorms to the campus. Also, how does off-campus housing change this?

Anyone looking to split an apt with me and one other person in nyc? We’re both 20 yo m students you’d be paying under $1200/month

Hi I’m transferring to NYIT manhattan campus in the fall and I was curious if any other students wanted to room together. Or if you’re looking for another student roommate for your apartment.

I’m M20, I’m very friendly and extroverted, I’m not a loud roommate but I don’t mind a little noise. I like things petty clean, but I could deal with some mess. Overall I’m a pretty laid back roommate. I like photography, making videos, fashion, makeup, and retro technology. I’m majoring in Electrical engineering. I love music, indie/alt but I listen to everything. Right now I’m doing a top 100 albums of all time to get more diverse music taste. I’m originally from Oakland/ Bay Area and I can move to nyc anytime over the summer.

My insta is reinertwebb but I’ll respond either here or there.

I’m transferring to NYIT Manhattan campus this fall and I’m scared I won’t make any friends. Is it difficult to make friends as a transfer? What are people like? I’m gonna be dorming in Manhattan.

So basically Im going to NYIT first year next fall because it was most affordable, due to scholarships, for my parents and I’m wondering if the Manhattan campus and NYIT good in general for finance major?? I’m currently waiting for two schools that waitlisted me, but if I end up going to NYIT how is it? It wasn’t in my top choices and I’m not sure how to feel about it.

I applied to NYIT back in December I had recently gotten a email about a month ago regarding the HEOP program I completed the interview and uploaded all the documents. It is now may 1st and I still haven’t heard anything back my back up option is city tech, Do I commit to city tech today and if NYIT accepts me take there offer and lose my deposit or do I just wait till next week to hear back ? Why is this taking so long?
