The Student Center at Parsons includes a student lounge, which is a multipurpose space for meetings and lectures, the student gallery and food service facilities. This space, which serves as a 4th floor link between the 66 Fifth Avenue and 2 West 13th Street buildings, provides students with a place to eat, study, show their work, watch TV or simply unwind between classes. Students have many opportunities to get involved in programming or in the center. Students interested in working with the Student Gallery Committee or participating in any other event should contact the Office of Student Affairs. Top Student Activities Educational, cultural and social programs provide opportunities for experiences and leadership beyond the classroom and studio.

These trips, events, workshops and activities are sponsored by student organizations, academic departments or the Office of Student Affairs. Information about activities and events is published in Amuse News and posted on the Student Affairs bulletin boards located in each department. Series Co-Curricular Education Students are invited to participate in programs that address issues in art and design, as well as workshops which assist with the transition to Parsons and New York City. The Office of Student Affairs coordinates field trips and tours.
