Housing Options
Students live in residence halls on campus. Each room includes a kitchen and is equipped with cable and a computer hook-up. Most have separate dining areas and living rooms. Classrooms, the library, the subway and athletic center are within a five to 10-minute walk from the residence halls.
Costs vary by semester and location. Please see the Costs and Financial Assistance page for more information.
Please contact SIW staff for more specific information on your semester’s housing arrangements. SIW makes every effort to place students in new upper-classman housing.
Due to our size and location, single occupancy dorms are hard to come by. Please let SIW staff know ahead of time of a medical condition or other circumstances that would necessitate a single room.
