Happy to hear that and congratulations! The New School is honestly such a great school for "older" college students because you can have a life outside of "campus." Also, you can choose to take classes at different schools under the New School umbrella, I took tons of classes at Parsons, Mannes, and the Continuing Ed & Professional Development classes, which aren't exclusively undergrad programs. The age range for most of my classes after Freshmen year was very wide, with people in their 40s and 50s!
I also applied for Fall 2024 and I’d be starting as a freshman as a 21 year old… we got this!
“Hi! Thank you for your wonderful video! I’m planning to apply for a major in Culture and Media. I’m an international student from Korea and was wondering if The New School has flexible policies regarding scholarships. For instance, do they offer need-based scholarships even with an average GPA, and what are the general criteria for merit-based scholarships?”
“Also, how do you think the reputation of the university is perceived when it comes to finding a job?”
Hi! I know they provided need based scholarships, I’d talk to an advisor there for the most updated info. While I was in school (2010-2015), if you made the Dean’s List, which was by maintaining a high GPA over the course of the semester, you were automatically awarded a $1200 scholarship. I think I received the scholarship every semester. Hope this helps!
I think it really depends on what job or career you’re looking to enter. If you’re interested in going into Media, I would look into internships (the new school has an extensive job board available to current students and alumni) and utilizing the free equipment and studio rentals for students if you’re making your own projects. I don’t think the New School is particularly prestigious in name compared to NYU, or Columbia but you will gain a lot of connections here through the faculty and other students. Many of the faculty are working professionals and building good relationships and having them mentor you is invaluable. I know of a lot of friends who ended up working for their professors on films or in their studios.
is it easy to make friends at lang?
hows the lgbtq dating/community scene?
Making friends was easiest when I lived in the dorms Freshmen year, and I definitely made an effort to invite people from classes who I liked to hang out or work on projects together. I know a lot of people who transferred in found it harder to make friends on campus because a lot of students will just pack up and leave right after class and not mingle.
The problem with NYC being your campus is that people tend to keep to themselves and have lives outside of school. I think it's harder to make friends than a traditional campus, but when you find people you vibe with, they'll be lifelong friends, at least that's been my case.
There was a weird phenomenon freshmen year, about half of the people I made friends with either transferred out or dropped out, so I lost a bunch of friends because they didn't like living in NYC or didn't like Lang.
Lang is totally LGBTQ friendly! We had this terrible joke about how a lot of people would come out as gay by May (it was 2010), and honestly it was true. It was actually super awesome to get to witness all these kids who grew up in really conservative places blossom and feel safe enough and accepted to love who they really were, and find love!
Hope this was helpful and best of luck on your search!
do you feel that there is a strong sense of community within the alumni.
I would say there isn't much community baked into being a student here, but if you put in the effort building a community, you will find like-minded, passionate, ambitious, wonderful people. I'm still very close to many of my friends from the New School and while I wouldn't say going to the New School will automatically create a bond like if you went to Harvard or were in a Greek house or something, I do bump into people I've had classes with and reconnected over the years.
TDLR: no, unless you put in the effort to build one.
tysm Loved this!!!
