NYU Shanghai celebrates Thanksgiving week

"This week I got to have my first Thanksgiving dinner with my friends and I loved how the meal brought us together to enjoy time with each other."

Most of NYU Shanghai's international students -- who represent half of the student body -- are still spread out across over 70 countries around the world due to the pandemic. But many have begun returning -- or for the freshmen, arriving for the first time -- to Shanghai. About 30 international students so far have completed 14 days' quarantine, multiple COVID tests, and 7-day post-quarantine isolation, while more than 80 are still in various stages of quarantine. Dozens more are expected to arrive in the coming weeks.
