Our Mission
International Students Demographics
The Office of Global Services ensures compliance with all immigration, visa, and mobility regulations for international students, faculty members, and researchers in the US, and all members of the University community going abroad for NYU study or work. We strive to create an innovative and empathic environment, providing the highest quality, personal-ized immigration, visa, and intercultural services and programs that respond to the needs of students, scholars, and their families, and promote cross-cultural understanding.
NYU is the #1 institution hosting international students in the US (we have 2,203 more international students than the #2 institution)

Student Spotlights
Andrea Ng Wen-Xin
Bachelor’s student in Economics and Psychology from Singapore
Andrea advocates for change
that will benefit international
students in her work with NYU
student government.
Marie Constantinesco
Tisch Film School MFA Graduate from France
Marie is the star and creator of
the award-winning web series,
My Life in Sourdough, that
chronicles the life of a young
French woman who foregoes
dating for a relationship with her
sourdough starter.
Sally Warring
PHD student in Biology from New Zealand Film
Sally traverses the city gather-ing samples from various ponds, analyzes them under her micro-scope and shares them with her 42,000 followers via her @pon-dlife_pondlife Instagram account. With help from the OGS, she was able to get employment authorization that uses her training in biology to create and sell her vast microbi-al images of NYC life at a whole new level.
An international student herself,
she focuses on addressing
problems international students
face across campus. Andrea
works closely with the OGS to
reach out and provide support
to international students across
campus and notes that the
resources the office provides
allow her to both gain access to
a larger amount of students and
fund activities that benefit
students' well being.
Each three to five minute
episode is paired with a recipe
that Marie herself prepares for
the camera. As an international
student, Marie found support
and collaboration in the interna-
tional student community. Since
graduating, she’s started work as
a commercial director at a
production company that
specializes in food and lifestyle
advertising, a position she
attributes to the success of her
online show.
