However, Herkimer draws students from throughout the state and several foreign countries. Consequently, there are a variety of quality student housing options from town houses and duplex apartments right across the street from the campus, to duplex, dorm-style, and private apartments and rooms throughout the Village of Herkimer and the surrounding communities. Furnished and unfurnished facilities are available.
Most students prefer furnished units for convenience.
However, some landlords prefer the tenant to pay utilities separately. Apartments and houses are slightly more expensive than other types of housing, but they may offer the student more individual living convenience. The dormitory style housing in the area accommodates ten or more students. Rooms are generally shared with another student, although single rooms are also available at a higher rate. Bathrooms, lounge, and cooking areas are generally shared.
