When you choose to live in student housing, you can expect to encounter new challenges, meet new friends, and basically have a good time while in college. We certainly want you to experience all those things but there is even more to gain. Student Housing's mission is to enhance your learning experience by building residential communities that support your academic and personal growth. We provide secure and supportive environments that can ease the transition from home to college. Through shared experiences and activities, you will discover and appreciate differences, learn to live more independently, and experience personal growth at an important time in your life.

What is often overlooked when thinking about student housing is that not only do we give shelter to over 1,100 students in the Greenwich Village and Wall Street areas but we also provide exciting social and educational programs and activities for our residents. Through the enthusiasm and creativity of our resident advisors, you will be exposed to diverse programs that take advantage of the rich traditions of The New School and the cultural opportunities of New York City. Through purposeful programming that addresses your intellectual, artistic and creative efforts, our residence life program aims to foster the development of the whole student. We endeavor to provide comfortable and inclusive communities where students and staff can succeed in promoting cultural awareness, academic success, and the development of new ideas and diverse experiences.

Each of our residences is unique and provides something for everyone. Once the home of famous Beat poets in the 1960s, Marlton House is now home to a warm and strong community that nurtures its residents year after year. The Union Square Residence, a popular choice, is amid the hustle and bustle of Union Square Park and its summer concerts, farmers markets, and many other distinctive New York experiences. A strong and very active residence life staff in our primarily freshmen residences—Loeb Hall and the 13th Street Residence—gives students exceptional programming and close personal attention. While returning students mingle with freshmen at the Village residences, many of them join graduate students at the William Street Residence where they enjoy the sights and sounds of the South Street Seaport and the historic Wall Street area.

We realize that your decision to live on campus involves several factors. This Web site informs you about the many services and amenities our residence facilities provide. If you still have questions, our knowledgeable Housing staff is available to assist you.
