NYU Abu Dhabi graduates share their advice with incoming students
NYU Abu Dhabi Staff Writer
The start of each academic year at NYU Abu Dhabi brings a wave of fresh excitement for incoming first-year students, alongside a mix of nerves and anticipation for what the next four years will bring.
Recent graduates share advice they wish they had been given when they first stepped onto campus. Here’s what they had to say.
Make new friends over the next four years. They’ll be some of the most amazing people you’ll meet in your entire life.
Try to enjoy every single moment because four years pass by in an instant.
If you want an opportunity or a coffee chat with a professor, reach out. Don’t let the fear of judgment hold you back.
There’s so much around you to explore. The Middle East is literally in the middle of the world.
Take it slow. It might feel like you need to prove yourself because others may be doing a lot. That’s not true.
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. People usually regret what they haven’t done rather than what they have.
