Last year, there was a housing crisis at the graduate apartments. Many new students came without housing assignments. This year, the university has changed policy for graduate residences. New graduate students who apply for housing before May 15th will be garanteed housing. Priority has been given to new students.
Old students can renew their contract only when spaces are available after the new comers.
There are many types of apartments at graduate residences. 2-bedrooms are also available for two families to share. One-bedroom apartment is for one family only. Schomburg's 4-bedroom apartment is cheaper than Chapin. It also has a few apartment with air conditioning.
