Location

New York - a city which seems to know everyone on the planet, "capital of the world", metropolis on the east coast of the United States. NYU's "campus" is New York City. Its heart is in Greenwich Village around Washington Square Park with important hubs along the Health Corridor of First Avenue near 30th Street, near Midtown East, and in downtown Brooklyn.  With institutes, centers, and academic buildings reaching as far north as the Upper East Side, and as far south as the Financial District, getting from place to place at NYU requires transportation services which run between all of the major academic building locations, including the Medical Center, and NYU residence halls.
