Move-In Day
All NYU Shanghai students live with someone of a different nationality, creating an unprecedented exchange of knowledge, culture, and ideas. You won’t be able to move into your residence hall until the official Move-In Day. If you arrive prior to this date, you’ll need to arrange for local accommodations by yourself.

Move-In Day is one of the most highly anticipated moments in the entire college experience. After preparing for your journey to NYU Shanghai, you finally arrive on campus, pick up your room key, and open the door to your new home. To help you go through this busy period of time, a suggested packing list and further housing assignment details will be provided.
Welcome Table
When you arrive at the residence hall, please come to see us at the Resource Center in building #2. Our staff and Orientation Ambassadors will welcome you at the table from 9 AM to 9 PM on the Move-in Day. This is where you can pick up your room key and welcome package. If you arrive after 9 PM, you can get your room key and welcome package at Public Safety Office also located in building #2.
NYU Shanghai Airport Pickup Service
Airport pickup shuttle service will be arranged on the Move-In day to best support new students’ arrival.
Shanghai Airports and Railway Stations
Traveling from the Airport
The cost of the fare to campus usually costs around 120 to 150 RMB (19-24 USD), depending on traffic at your time of arrival. More advice about using taxis can be found in the NYU Shanghai Online Pre-Arrival Orientation, which will be emailed to you during the summer.
