How exactly is the NYU Department of Mathematics fun?
First of all it’s a very relaxed atmosphere. No one takes themselves too seriously and everyone is very friendly. As much as the students are committed to their studies they also like kick back and enjoy life. Some specific examples of fun activities include: • A weekly Happy Hour at one of the neighbourhood’s drinking establishments • In December a holiday party in the 13th floor lounge with good food and dancing • Breakfast Club every week, featuring free bagels and light conversation • Music at CIMS in the 13th floor lounge • Weekly grad student tea featuring all sorts of sandwiches, cookies, pastries, cakes, and other scrumptious items. Tea too. Of course all this fun doesn’t organize itself. It requires a constant supply of steadfast volunteers to keep it going. So when the call goes out for help with these activities consider lending a hand. Or, if you have ideas for other events that might be fun take the initiative and organize them yourselves.
