As an international student, I want to make the most of my stay in New York. Here are my top five fun activities I did this winter.
Extracurricular Activities
Here are some holiday-themed activities all around New York that won’t take up too much time from finals season, ordered from least to most time-consuming.
It seems almost silly to think of taking breaks when everyone is so stressed with tons of reading to do, but it is a necessity.
One of the advantages of being a part of the LLM student community is that when somebody gets an idea to travel somewhere or do something fun, you can just say, “I’m in,” and have a great plan for the weekend.
When I read the logline for The People v. O.J. Simpson, I knew immediately how my spring break was going to unfold.
Through the Women of Color Collective, on whose board I currently sit, I have met so many new people that I wouldn’t have met otherwise.
I will say it: NYU is the best-located law school in the country.
Did I ever think going to law school would afford me the opportunity to study for four months in China? Never!
I found a welcoming student body, helpful professors, and a few unexpected gems that affirmed my decision to transfer.
If you discover the stress of the exam period is more than you expected, you are not alone. But the NYU Law community is prepared to share and ameliorate the burden.
Transferring after your 1L year is a daunting but thrilling experience.
Law school is often characterized by vague, fear-inducing comments (i.e., the common, ominous advice “Don’t go to law school”). It’s time for a change.
They say 1L is the busiest and craziest year of law school, but I’d have to argue that the period between the last month of 1L and the first month of 2L has been the busiest, craziest, and best period of law school so far.
As we leave these idyllic surroundings, we inherit a world that is divided: a world of hatred and imperfect leaders where representation by the legal profession is required more than ever. We need to go out there and ensure we do justice to what we have learned here.
The stakes were high in the final argument of this year’s Orison S. Marden Moot Court Competition.
The world is not the same today as it was five months ago when we 1Ls sat in our first lectures.
The High School Law Institute is a student-run organization at NYU Law that teaches high school students about the law and instills confidence in them as budding legal thinkers.
While it is safe to say most of us are ready for this election to be over and for our country to move forward, NYU Law has provided a great setting for debate, involvement, discussion, and—let’s be honest—commiseration about the issues being raised in this campaign.
Sometimes in the long, dark-too-early autumn of the soul, it becomes necessary to flee the library and get out, all the way out of Manhattan.
I have really gotten interested in women’s rights since coming to NYU Law, and this panel was a great opportunity for me to listen to people who have made a career out of thinking about these issues.
