Living at The New School

Housing at The New School is more than just four walls and a roof. Living on campus provides opportunities to form bonds, ease the transition from home to college, and make new friends for life. Our Residential Education staff is available to support you as you live side by side with students in different colleges and from different backgrounds and make connections, meet collaborators, and learn more about yourself while living on your own for the first time.

Our mission is to create an environment that fosters a safe, inclusive, and just community in which students engage through meaningful residential learning experiences. Our goals fall in three areas:

  • Safety and responsibility
  • Community and connections
  • Personal development and accountability

If you'd like additional information or if we can support you in any way, please email us at universityhousing@newschool.edu or give us a call at 212.229.5459.

“Living on campus has been a dream. I’m on Fifth Avenue, like two seconds away from everything, which is really nice."

RAs & Housing Leadership Opportunities

Each residence hall has a team of staff members tasked with creating a community where everyone belongs. Our Resident Advisors (RAs) and Head Residents (HRs) are the backbone of this community, working with our Hall Councils and Special Interest Communities to ensure that there are open doors and open minds.
