New York Apartments for Students and Interns

Many students and interns like you come to study or work in New York City for a short time and, as a result, there are numerous housing opportunities that serve your group. Live at a college, in a student housing center or in a group accommodation that can set you up in a great location while fitting your budget.

Dulcinea's Insight

  • If you’re taking a summer class at a particular college or university, speak to your program coordinators about summer housing. Although directories of university housing options are often locked to the public, as a temporary student you should be able to use them.
