New York City - Overview

As a leading global city, New York hosts many of the world’s biggest companies and supports the largest economy of any city anywhere. The result – practically any career is possible in New York. Past NYC interns have coordinated a fashion show for a top designer, learned about financial markets and securities, critiqued scripts for plays and movies, listened to new and upcoming bands, examined x-rays at a veterinary hospital, and so much more. You'll be living in the heart of Manhattan, so when the word day comes to a close, anything is possible in the "City That Never Sleeps."

Health, Safety, and Security

The health, safety and security of each student is our primary concern. Entry to our residence hall at NYU is restricted to residents and authorized guests only. Discovery Internship resident counselors live in the same secure residence hall as the students.  For additional safety, there are daily/nightly sign-ins and room checks.  In keeping with a collegiate atmosphere, students are permitted to walk on campus and in our “home area” around Union Square and Greenwich Village, but are required to be in small groups.
