University Housing and Residential Education

New York Campus

The New School has four residence halls downtown, offering space for undergraduate and graduate students with amenities to suit individual needs and tastes. All residences are fully furnished and staffed by professional residence hall staff and student resident assistants. Each residence hall offers kitchenette access, study rooms, art studios, music practice spaces, and exercise rooms. All residence halls have 24-hour security coverage, and our staff is on call 24/7 and is trained in handling emergencies should the need arise. The Residence Hall Handbook details housing services and residence hall policies essential to creating safe, supportive, and respectful communities. 

Please note: For more information about on-campus housing and policies for the 2025-2026 academic year, please visit newschool.edu/housing. 

All first-year students enrolled full-time in an undergraduate program at our New York City campus will be automatically assigned on-campus housing for their first year.

Upperclassmen, transfer, and graduate students who are interested in living on campus are encouraged to apply for housing through the Housing Portal. On-campus housing is guaranteed for all students in these categories who submit a completed housing application.
