NYU Moment
My defining moment at NYU was when I entered my first music business class. Each music business student takes an intro to music business class taught by our department head Larry Miller. From the first class, I recall learning totally new things, and I felt entirely reassured by my decision to come to NYU. It was the first time I was certain of my decision to come to NYU, and I have never once reconsidered my choice since.
NYU Moment: Welcome Week, stop and try.
Three years ago, before my welcome week, I went through every event introduction on the guidebook and scheduled myself a very compact week, rushing from one building to another. There were small club activities on the streets, but I never had the time to stop and try any out. Until one day, my friend asked me to stop at a painting club with her. I was then given a small square white board, paints and a brush to draw anything I wanted. Never was a good painter, I nervously put several colors together and drew a simple heart. Although I felt a little embarrassed by my easy drawing, the club runner came to me and seemed to appreciate my picture. She asked me the reason to draw this shape and I said, “because my Chinese name contains a heart”. At that moment, I realized that there were people here who would encourage me to be myself, would love to spend some time to listen to my story, and would make me feel welcomed. Just stop and try and you won’t miss anything :) -Zoe, OL
NYU Moment: Beyoncé-themed Dance Class with Hannah Bronfman and Elaine Welteroth
This past April, I got to participate in something I truly believe could only happen in a city as great as New York. I got to participate in a Beyoncé-themed dance class that raised money for Planned Parenthood! Oh and by the way it was hosted by my two biggest role models, Hannah Bronfman (DJ, model, founder of HBFit.com) and Elaine Welteroth (Editor-in-Chief of Teen Vogue).
Although I had planned to go to this event with a couple of friends, it was a school night. So plans fell through, and I was the only one left standing. As nervous as I was, my friends- all of whom I met on the 6th floor of Rubin Hall by the way- encouraged me to throw myself into it, because well, that’s what we do at NYU! One of most beautiful things about being a student here is having access to so much BEYOND campus. But if you don’t take advantage of these resources, your experience won’t be as fulfilling. If I hadn’t thrown myself into this experience, I wouldn’t have gotten to meet my role models and established the future connections that could possibly serve me in the future.

NYU Moment: 10th Floor
Our college experiences truly shape who we become as people, especially in a place like NYU. What has been a defining or important for you at NYU? What is your NYU moment?
There are many moments that I have encountered in NYU, such as Casino Night during Welcome week to a great lecture in a classroom, but there is one that is important and very special to me.
It was a moment where I wanted a personal space to write an essay for an assignment in my writing class. Ideas weren’t flowing at the time and I really wanted to find an area were I could concentrate and not feel enclosed in a tight area. That is the moment when I encountered the 10th floor of Bobst Library. There is a quiet space in the back of the floor. As you enter you have to be quiet, a single sound could grab attention, just the way I like it.
I enter and find a spot. If I’m lucky, which I usually am I have a spot in the front located where the windows are. There you get to have full view of the city and of the NYU campus. When you sit and you look around you would notice other students around you as well, comfortably doing their work and taking little breaks in between.
The quiet space isn’t for everyone, which is the best thing about Bobst because it has a room for every type of student. But for those who enjoy a great space of quiet, with an open lens to the outdoors and a huge wooden table all for yourself, then I must encourage you to check the floor out.
It really is a part of the NYU experience!
