Residential College Mentor Groups

Each Residential College Mentor Group consists of 5-8 first-year students who will be facilitated by one Peer-Mentor/Undergraduate Research Assistant (or 'PMURA'). The PMURA are alumni of the Residential College in their sophomore or junior year, who have successfully managed the academic and social challenges of first year at NYU. 

Your first year at college is an exciting time of growth. However, it is also a stressful time for many students. Peer-mentoring groups offer social connection and informal guidance from fellow students. We believe, and many studies indicate, that peer mentoring will help you to navigate these stresses, bolster your academic confidence, and feel more at home at NYU.
