Campus Resources: The Inside Scoop to Writing Right!

Did you know that NYU's College of Arts and Science maintains a Writing Center?

In conjunction with the Expository Writing Program, the NYU Writing Center serves as a resource to all NYU students needing assistance with writing assignments (as long as they aren't exams). Students are able to receive one-on-one help with all stages of the writing process! You should think of them as your writing consultants.

Students are able to both schedule appointments and stop by for a walk-in appointment. Appointments are 40-45 minutes in duration and can be scheduled online here: http://www.rich15.com/nyu/

If you're thinking about scheduling you first appointment, here are some helpful tips from the Writing Center so you can be prepared:
  • Bring two copies of your paper
  • If you are preparing a piece of writing for a specific assignment, bring the assignment
  • Bring any feedback that you have received on the piece from your professor or instructor(s)
  • Bring your research items to the session. This includes notes, previous writings on the topic, and texts related to what you will be writing.
The semester is approaching quickly. Identify your resources and plan to use them! It is never too soon to get a head start on writing well.
