These newspapers have good listings for both Manhattan and the surrounding boroughs. You may also want to place an ad to find a roommate or exchange situation. This works best if done in advance.

In addition, www.craigslist.org has short term housing listings as well as opportunities to place an ad to find a housing situation. Make sure to click onto “New York City”.



WOMEN’S RESIDENCES

Women’s residences provide small, furnished rooms and do not have cooking facilities. Many provide linens, a light breakfast, and dinner. These are within walking distance of the school and will save about $60 per month in subway fares.

The De Hirsh Residence is a nice residence, even though it isn’t as close as some of the women’s residences. We recommend the Mc Burney YMCA more for a place to exercise – you can get a student discount.
