Student Life - The New School for Drama

Our students have access to all the facilities of The New School, including the 500-seat John L. Tishman Theatre, and the Martha Graham Space.

The University Computing Center at 55 West 13th Street gives our students access to IBM-compatible computers for class assignments, research and any other word processing needs.

The New School for Drama’s office is also designed to serve its students with both academic and financial advising and student life counseling.

The university contains and has access to several libraries: New School's Raymond Fogelman Library at 65 Fifth Avenue; the Elmer Holmes Bobst Library at neighboring New York University; the Cooper Union Library; and the Adam L. and Sophie Gimbel Library at the Parsons The New School for Design (which is a division of The New School).

Of great significance to our program is the fact that we have established a relationship with the The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center. The Library’s Drama (comprising both theatre and film), Dance, and Music collections are the world’s largest performing arts archives. Professionals and scholars come from every corner of the globe to use them. Our students are given introductory tours and lectures by the library staff, and thereafter have full and open access to the collections.

The university provides a professional housing service to assist students in all aspects of housing, including locating housing, roommate referrals, university-sponsored housing, and counseling on housing problems.

In order to foster a healthy environment for students, The New School has developed a health program including an on-campus Student Health Services Center and a comprehensive university-sponsored health insurance plan. The Student Health Services Center offers medical and counseling services by appointment to students who have paid the Health Services Fee. The Center’s professional staff includes registered nurses, physicians, and licensed psychotherapists who were chosen because of their special interest in the health and concerns of university students.
