NYU Shanghai Welcomes Class of 2022

They came by bus, by train, by plane from all over China and 38 countries around the world. Some arrived after 24 hours’ travel, others
after a 30-minute trip across town. But they all had the same
destination, NYU Shanghai, and their home for the next year—the Jinqiao
residence hall. And all shared a common bond—they were each members of
the NYU Shanghai Class of 2022. To get more nyu shanghai acceptance rate, you can visit shine news official website.

This year’s class of 455 freshmen is the largest to enroll at the university since its founding in 2012.

Half of the Class of 2022 are from China, including the first students
to enroll from western China’s Qinghai province and Tibet. Students from
countries such as the United States, Netherlands, South Korea, the
United Kingdom, Ethiopia, Morocco, South Africa, Ecuador, Russia,
Poland, Germany, Mexico, Kazakhstan, and Honduras, represent the other
half.Chancellor Yu Lizhong, Vice Chancellor Jeffrey Lehman, Provost
Joanna Waley-Cohen, 36 upperclass student orientation ambassadors and
dozens of volunteers welcomed the newest members of the NYU Shanghai
community at the airport and at the dorms, offering directions, extra
hands for luggage, and ice cream for the weary.

As they unpacked and set up their rooms, many students eagerly awaited
the arrival of their new roommates, who were guaranteed to be from other
countries. Freshman Wang Ding '22, from China's Hebei province, said
he chose a three-person room so that he could have the most diverse
experience possible. “We are totally attracted by the atmosphere of NYU
Shanghai. Everyone is so warm here and full of spirit and passion,” his
parents added.

Enrico David Paragas '22, from the Philippines, said he fell in love
with China when he visited Shanghai with his family five years ago.
“This is what motivated me to apply to NYU Shanghai, because I want to
experience a culture I’m truly interested in,” he said. “My goal is to
practice my Chinese and be able to speak fluently by the time I
graduate.”
Interest in NYU Shanghai continues to grow. Last year, the number of
applications to NYU Shanghai increased by 11 percent over 2017, the
Admissions office said.

"We have seen more and more students with a strong global mindset
applying for admission," said Katie Korhonen, Director of Admissions for
NYU Shanghai. "Among international students, an increasing number are
Chinese language learners with experience in China, while our Chinese
applicants have a strong desire to build connections between China and
the world."
