NYU students have more questions than answers after 18-year-old woman dies in jump from building

NYU students had more questions than answers a day after a young woman plunged to her death from a campus window in an apparent suicide — with many complaining the school hasn’t provided any information on the situation.

“I had no idea. That’s awful. I didn’t get any email or anything. It’s aggravating,” a senior named Stephanie told The Post.

The 18-year-old victim jumped from a fifth-floor window of the Barney Building at the intersection of East Ninth and Stuyvesant Streets around 7:30 p.m. Saturday, according to police, landing on the sidewalk below with severe bodily trauma.

She was rushed to Bellevue hospital and later pronounced dead.

It remains unclear whether the victim was a student — the university did not respond to multiple requests for comment on Saturday and Sunday.

“The school doesn’t do a great job about keeping people informed. NYU hasn’t been very impressive with that. Everything is very bureaucratic and slow,” Stephanie added, noting the school had locked up the building, which is filled with art studios, but declined to tell students why when they inquired.
