How will it affect their health and wellness? To whom can they turn for sup-port?

From safe sex to cafeteria food, from depression to roommates, from alcohol to homesickness, The Reality Show: NYU covers it all—this is NYU life sung, spoken and acted onstage. The show is written and produced by NYU students and directed by Tisch School of the Arts’ Professor, Elizabeth Swados.
