University Housing

While University housing is limited, students in GSAS who are on fellowship are usually provided with housing within certain time limits.  Ph.D. students on fellowship are normally eligible for five years of housing, subject to their remaining registered and in good standing in their program.  M.A. students in University housing - whether on fellowship or not - are limited to one year of housing, but they may be provided with up to one additional year in exceptional, documented situations.

By subletting to a registered GSAS M.A. or Ph.D. student who is otherwise eligible for housing, Ph.D. students in GSAS programs who will be away from campus for research abroad or elsewhere in the US may extend the time they are allowed in University housing.  For further information, students should contact Jan Allen, Associate Dean for Ph.D. Programs (ja2310@columbia.edu).  

 
Housing Bulletin Board for GSAS Master's students 

The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences maintains and operates an electronic housing bulletin board for GSAS Master's students.  Columbia faculty, staff and all graduate students may use it to advertise space that they have available, but only registered MA students in GSAS can use it to find housing for themselves: to advertise for roommates and to look for apartments or apartment shares.
