New Students

Congratulations! You are embarking on an exciting journey at The New School. At our university, we believe in fostering a supportive and inclusive community, and on-campus living plays a crucial role in achieving that goal. We want you to focus on what matters most—your studies, your friendships, and the incredible opportunities that await you in New York City.

If you have any questions about on-campus housing, please contact University Housing at universityhousing@newschool.edu or 212.229.5459. 

You can also connect with our One Stop Student Service Center at 212.229.5150.

First-Year Students

We understand that where you live is a central aspect of your first-year college experience. At The New School, all first-year students enrolled full-time in an undergraduate program at our New York City campus are guaranteed housing and are automatically signed up for on-campus housing for their first year.

We want to make the process as smooth as possible for you. All you need to do is submit your housing preferences, so that we can make sure you are matched with your ideal roommate in a residence hall that suits your needs and preferences. 

Before you submit your housing preferences, you must:

  • Be accepted as a full-time student by one of the colleges of The New School
  • Receive your New School ID number (N plus eight digits)
  • Pay your tuition deposit (where applicable)
  • Receive instructions for logging in to my.newschool.edu

For additional information on the housing program and criteria for exemption, please review the First Year On-Campus Residency Requirement

Graduate & Transfer Students

We welcome all new graduate and transfer students and look forward to assisting you with the housing application process. You are guaranteed housing if you apply by the priority deadline listed below.
