    Student Life

  • Eugene Lang College is an intellectual home with the benefit of a comprehensive university’s rich ecosystem of organizations, activities, and events. Our location further broadens and enriches our community. New York City is a large part of your college experience. In the classroom, you will see New York through the lens of your studies in culture, history, literature, and liberal arts. Outside the classroom, you will engage directly with its communities in project-based faculty- and student-led initiatives. On a personal level, living in one of the world’s most dynamic and diverse cities brings you endless opportunities for cultural and social discoveries and growth. 

  • Make the most of the university’s vibrant interdisciplinary culture by joining a student group—or starting one yourself. At The New School, you’re surrounded by peers who are as passionate and curious as you are: scholars involved in a diverse range of activities, from identity-based groups such as the Queer Collective and Black Student Union to civically engaged organizations like the University Student Senate, and arts-focused collectives dedicated to showcasing groundbreaking dance and theatrical productions, literary excellence, and more.

  • Student Voices

    • I applied for a Lang Opportunity Award, and was able to go on a full ride [to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival]. I also went to Columbia with the Gural Scholars.

    • I’ll be in Ghana . . . working with a label called Akwaaba, whose mission is to bring these amazing musicians that are not on the Internet online to diversify their revenue streams and enable them to gain agency by entering global markets. The Lang Opportunity Award, which is like a grant, will help me get there.

    • It’s really great that Lang is partnering with these programs and also giving exposure to organizations and using our resources in a way that promotes discussion, not only in class but outside of class, of questions like, How can we change the school-to-prison pipeline?

    • I interned with an environmentally-focused start-up and then I looked into Citi Bike as an extension of the sharing economy and wanted to understand the social and environmental justice implications of that.

    • In many traditional science labs that I visited during my time in Argentina [on the Mohn Family Science and Social Justice Fellowship], the Mapuche perspective was completely ignored, because science is traditionally taught in a vacuum...My project is trying to bring science out of the vacuum by putting it into poetry while also keeping a lot of those scientific roots.

  • Progressive thought is not just theory here. Lang’s Office of Civic Engagement and Social Justice offers opportunities to combine your passion for social justice, transformative learning, and building community. 

  • Access everything you need to make the most of your New School experience, on campus and off. Find quick links to academic and advising resources, as well as information about events and campus activities. The University Learning Center provides academic support through one-on-one tutoring sessions and other services.

  • Wondering what a day in the life of a New Schooler is like? When you study in the heart of Greenwich Village, every day is a chance to explore, challenge what you know and believe, and find inspiration.
