Diversity Statistics
NYU is a remarkably diverse place, and it is always changing! Students come to Washington Square from all fifty states, and approximately 140 countries.
Each year we welcome a new group of students to campus, each arriving with their own unique talents, goals, and perspectives.
Here is a statistical introduction to this past year's freshman class, a group of approximately 4,650 extraordinarily talented young men and women.
