Group Housing Blocks

NYU High School Programs

NYU Summer Housing offers 1-13 week reservations to programs with at least 10 group participants, all of whom meet our eligibility criteria. Reservations begin on Sundays and end on Saturdays within our Summer dates.

Housing information for students opens in a new window is available on the high school programs website.

How it Works

Creating a group reservation holds a given number of bed spaces in close proximity within a residence hall for your program. When your department knows who will be participating in your NYU-affiliated program, a representative will fill out an NYU Housing-supplied roster of participants using the reserved bed spaces. NYU Housing will then make room assignments, which will be emailed directly to group participants along with arrival instructions prior to their arrival on campus.

Eligibility Requirements

High School Programs must be affiliated with an ongoing NYU Program through the University Programs Office. All participants must be at least 15 years of age before the start of their housing reservation. Participants over the age of 18 will be housed separately in a nearby residence hall.

Weekly Rates & Payment Options

Bookings in a group reservation are charged at a weekly rate rather than the flat rate charged to bookings unassociated with a group. By default, summer residents are each charged for their summer housing and dining on their NYU Bursar account, but groups with high school program reservations may indicate on the request form that the sponsoring department is covering their group participants’ summer charges instead.

All High School Program participants will be placed in traditional-style shared suites in either Manhattan or Brooklyn. All participants will also be required to purchase a Weekly Meal Plan.

Adjusting Group Size

Coordinators can reduce the number of bed spaces reserved for their group without penalty through March 31st, 2024. If less than 90% of reserved bed spaces are ultimately used by group participants, the group will incur cancellation fees of $500 per unclaimed bed space.

If group participants are responsible for their own summer housing charges, once an individual registers for housing as part of the group, they take responsibility for the cancellation fees for their bed space. Thus, if a group participant registers for housing and later cancels, the $500 cancellation fee is the responsibility of the individual rather than the sponsoring NYU department, office, or school.

Requests to increase the number of bed spaces in a group reservation may be approved on a case-by-case basis according to availability at the time of request. Please note that additional bed spaces may not be available in close proximity to the rest of the group.

Process Lifecycle

Process Lifecycle

  • NOVEMBER/DECEMBER

    An NYU program creates a group housing request and receives an automatic summary of request form responses. NYU Housing and the program correspond about any questions or concerns regarding the group reservation.

  • JANUARY

    NYU Housing creates an official email thread for the group, delivering the group housing license and a confirmation document detailing the reservation (hall placement, rates, deadlines, etc.). The program requests any changes and NYU Housing provides written confirmation of any adjustments to the reservation details.

  • FEBRUARY

    The program signs and returns both the confirmation document and the group housing license. NYU sends a reminder that the last day to adjust the estimated count of participants in housing groups is March 31st (fee policy listed above).

  • APRIL OR JUNE

    The program returns the completed roster (for groups arriving on or before June 30th on May 1st; for groups arriving after July 1st on June 1st).

  • NEXT FEW WEEKS

    NYU makes room assignments for all of the group participants. NYU sends pre-arrival notices, which include room assignments and arrival instructions, to all group participants. Group participants who are responsible for their own summer charges see housing charges assessed to their NYU Bursar accounts.

  • SUMMER

    The group participants arrive on campus and enjoy their stay at NYU.

  • END OF RESERVATION

    NYU sends group participants departure instructions via email. Group participants depart NYU.

  • POST DEPARTURE

    NYU sends invoices to the groups covering their participants’ summer charges. The programs which received summer housing invoices remit payment.

  • POST SUMMER

    NYU sends a closing message and program coordinators share any feedback.
