The Tandon Experience
At NYU Tandon our strength lies with our students and their lives extend beyond the classroom door. The Office of Student Life and Services provides endless opportunities to get involved, whether through student leadership opportunities, community service, or one of our dozens of clubs or activities.
And because the line between classroom and life is often blurry, especially when it comes to putting engineering into practice and building toward the future you want, we launched the Experiential Learning Center to help you navigate the wide range of hands-on learning experiences, research possibilities, and career-readiness opportunities available to you here.
Regardless of your interests, your aim for the future, or where you come from, Tandon is the kind of place where you feel welcome and appreciated for who you are. We know that diverse, inclusive, and equitable environments foster creativity, personal growth, and academic excellence.

Location
Located in bustling Downtown Brooklyn, NYU Tandon's campus sits around the tree-filled Brooklyn Commons. The space is typically occupied by engineering students in between classes where it is common to see them eat lunch, hang out with friends or enjoy some of the events hosted there throughout the year. Downtown Brooklyn is part of the "Brooklyn Tech Triangle," an area that has become a magnet for innovation and entrepreneurs. And NYU Tandon’s Brooklyn campus is just a quick subway ride from all that Manhattan has to offer.
