Off-Campus Housing

The School of Law has the benefit of being on a campus located in a quiet, safe, inexpensive, and suburban neighborhood in Queens, about 30 minutes from Manhattan.  In an effort to assist our students with their move to the NYC area, the Admissions Office maintains a Housing Newsletter with a listing of local landlords, realtors, and available listings.  While the School of Law does not endorse any specific property, landlord or realtor, we do hope our Housing Newsletter will help jump start your search.

Admitted Students
Admitted students will receive a housing information e-mail shortly after notification of admission. The Housing Response Form attached thereto should be completed and mailed, faxed, or e-mailed back to the Admissions Office immediately.  If you complete your Housing Response Form by selecting that you would like to be added to the Housing Newsletter, you will be added to the list of recipients upon our receipt of the form.  You will receive the Housing Newsletter weekly until the start of the fall semester or until you notify us you no longer wish to receive it.

If choosing to live off-campus, students should allow ample time to learn the area, visit several properties, and secure an apartment.  Remember that New York City property tends to move quickly so you may want to plan a visit to the area for several days and set up several meetings with landlords to make the best use of your time.  Also, securing a roommate may be a smart and economical option.  Please see the section on the Roommate List for information about this option.

Landlords
Please visit the Landlord page for information about how have your listing posted in the law school's Housing Newsletter.
