Those students interested in joining one of the specialty housing should contact the Office of Residential Life at 516.876.3210. We will proive you with a link that must be complete and submiitted to be considered.

While all efforts will be made to assist, we cannot gaurantee any specific space or location due to a number of varying factors.
