Student Life

Housing
Newhouse NYC students are welcome to book housing on their own with Educational Housing Services (EHS). EHS has locations at the New Yorker (Midtown West) and St. George Towers (Brooklyn Heights). Students are also welcome to lease apartments outside of EHS. Please note that if you choose to be residential at EHS or otherwise, you are accepting financial responsibility for the lease you sign, even if public health metrics do not allow in-person instruction either prior to the semester starting or at any point during the semester.

Transportation
One of the best perks of living in New York City is that you don’t need a car. Mass transit (subway, bus, etc.) is the most common form of transportation, but you can also walk, hail a taxi or use mobile apps such as Uber, Lyft and Via.
