With a tuition that’s higher than the average cost of a new car, you’re going want to make sure you’re getting the most out of that $43,000 or more bill. To make sure of that, we’ve put together a list of various incredibly useful services and perks you probably didn’t know you had access to as a New School student.
Check them out.

The TDF offers discounted tickets up to 70% off shows. Originally $145 for an annual membership, New Schooler’s pay from $29 – $45 for a membership to this non-profit that makes theatre-going more accessible to all.
Free video streaming through Kanopy.
Kanopy is a free streaming that’s filled with movies, shows and documentaries that you can watch on those down-days. You know, the days when all you want to do is snuggle up in bed and just procrastinate.
You can browse by subjects from The Arts to Sciences to Languages or some pure entertainment like The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

American Film Scripts.
American Film Scripts provides film buffs access to more than 1,000 scripts filled information and annotations. Details about scenes, producer notes, and character developments are also available through the service. I would recommend checking out Martin Scorsese’s Mean Streets, annotated by the producer Jonathan Taplin.
American Film Scripts can be found on library.newschool.edu under Film Studies databases.
Met Opera and other music resources.
For the culturally inclined students, there’s unlimited access to more than 500 performances at the Met than can be streamed online.
That catch is, you have to access it through a New School computer on campus for use.
Beyond the Met’s repertoire of amazing operas, you can also browse several other music libraries that have work from Classical giants such as Beethoven and even extensive Jazz collections.
Free access to magazines.
Magazine lovers rejoice! New Schoolers have access to Vogue, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and The New Yorker. Current and past issues. Again, yay New School databases.
