New York University occupies multiple locations throughout Lower Manhattan, with its main campus centered around Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village. Founded in 1831, NYU has evolved into an urban institution integrated into the city's landscape, featuring a mix of modern academic buildings and historic brownstones. The university is recognized for its extensive academic offerings across its schools, with particular strength in the arts through the Tisch School of the Arts, business programs at the Stern School of Business, and its law school. NYU maintains a significant global presence with degree-granting campuses in Abu Dhabi and Shanghai, while operating academic centers across several continents. The university provides student housing in various residence halls throughout Manhattan, though many upperclassmen opt to live in off-campus apartments in surrounding neighborhoods.
