Living in NYC
Housing is not provided for students in the UTNY Pathways program. Students are expected to find their own residences or commute to the center. While there are multiple options for housing throughout New York City, student housing is in high demand. Start your search early to secure housing within your price range, in your desired location, and with your preferred features. Carefully read all options and discuss your housing with a parent or guardian. You assume full responsibility for location, condition, and the contractual terms of your rental.
We provide information to help you find housing while you participate in the UTNY program. The inclusion of a housing solution in this section does not constitute a recommendation, guarantee, or endorsement by The University of Texas at Austin or UTNY. The resources provided on this page are not a comprehensive list of the options available to students for housing, and students may find other housing options on their own. Wherever you decide to live, admitted students must provide proof of housing and address information to UTNY no later than the first day of class.
While there are many options available, some students seek dorm-style accommodation. Although not affiliated with UT-Austin, a number of our students stay in EHS housing. EHS offers fully furnished dormitory-style rooms near our facility. More information about these accommodations can be found here: https://www.studenthousing.org/and/uta-fall
