Shared bedroom

As a way to meet new people from around the world, we offer the option to room with another like-minded individual. You will share an ensuite bathroom, kitchenette, and wardrobe with one other intern or student. This shared accommodation option is also equipped with WiFi, basic linens, included utilities, an on-site laundry facility, and 24/7 security.

Due to limited availability, we are unable to guarantee shared room housing in New York. Rooms are assigned based upon program durations and availability which means we are not able to fulfill every request for shared housing. By selecting the shared housing option you will be placed on a waiting list. If no shared housing is available for your program dates, you will be placed in a private room and the full program pricing will be charged.
