NYU Through Malene's Eyes: A Day in the Life of an International Student and the Key Role of TOEFL

NYU Through Malene's Eyes: A Day in the Life of an International Student and the Key Role of TOEFL

Sep 14, 2023

If you've ever wondered what a day in the life of an international student at NYU looks like, Malene Hold's recent session is your perfect guide. Malene, a Master’s student at NYU, takes us through her eventful day in the city that never sleeps, offering insights that can inspire and guide you.

Morning Routine: Off to a Great Start

Malene began her day at 8 a.m., sharing her breakfast moments and outlining the day’s activities. It was a familiar scene: balancing meals, classes, and the excitement of the day's events, reminding us all of the universality of student life.

Wellness at NYU: More Than Just Books

By 8.30 a.m., Malene was at the NYU Athletics Center, underlining the importance of holistic well-being. The session showcased NYU's commitment to students' physical health, indicating that the university fosters both mental and physical growth.

Prepping for Classes: An International Touch

Around 11.30 a.m., viewers watched Malene's GRWM (Get Ready With Me) routine. Here, she touched upon her journey to NYU, emphasizing her TOEFL test experience and her scores. For many prospective students, this highlighted TOEFL's importance as a benchmark of English proficiency, critical for thriving at English-speaking institutions like NYU.

Finding Solace Amidst the City's Bustle

After lunch, Malene took viewers to her favorite study sanctuary in NYC: the iconic New York Public Library. This segment accentuated the significance of carving out personal study spaces, especially in a bustling city environment.

A Peek Into NYU Classrooms

Malene's class, "Social Media & The Brand," offered viewers a firsthand experience of NYU's dynamic teaching environment. This segment resonated with international students, emphasizing the value of strong English foundations (like those established through TOEFL) for seamless academic integration.

Evening Musings

After her class, Malene had a quick dinner, reflecting on her lessons. Interestingly, she drew parallels between her class experience and the TOEFL test. This analogy sheds light on TOEFL's design, which, beyond language skills, preps students for the academic rigors they'll encounter abroad.

The NYC Nightlife: All Work and Play

To conclude her day, Malene attended a concert, offering viewers a taste of the city's nightlife and showcasing the balanced lifestyle NYU students lead.

Why is the TOEFL Test Important for International Students?

Malene's frequent mentions of TOEFL underscored its significance for international students eyeing institutions like NYU:

  • Proof of proficiency: The TOEFL stands as a testament to one's English proficiency, ensuring students can navigate their chosen curriculum confidently.
  • Ensuring smooth transitions: A commendable TOEFL score equips students to understand lectures, engage in meaningful discussions, and absorb academic content effectively.
  • Universally recognized: With its global acceptance, TOEFL scores open doors to prestigious institutions worldwide.

Wrapping Up

Malene's documented day wasn't just a window into NYU's student life, but also an affirmation of how pivotal the TOEFL test is in shaping a successful international academic journey. For those dreaming of studying abroad, especially at renowned institutions like NYU, TOEFL can indeed be your passport.
