Housing

ECNU International Student Housing

The residence hall, located near the back gate of ECNU, is in the liveliest area of ECNU. One of the campus cafeterias, local restaurants, numerous street vendors and shops are all located near the back gate of ECNU. Students will be placed in a newly renovated international dormitory with students from all over the world.

Students who enjoy the campus atmosphere and interaction with other international and Chinese students should choose this option. As the residence hall is just a short walk from the NYU Shanghai Academic Center, living on campus is the most convenient option for getting to classes.

*For Fall 2013/Spring 2014 spaces in ECNU international student housing will be limited to accommodate the NYU Shanghai portal campus freshman students. Upperclass students may preference their interest in this option, but should understand that the majority will be housed in the Off Campus Apartments. 

Off-Campus Apartments

For students who want bigger living spaces, NYU Shanghai also provides off-campus apartments in the Zhongshan Park area. Students can choose from three or four-bedroom suites. Apartments are beautifully decorated and furnished with a TV, couch, full beds and appliances. Wireless internet access is also available and space is not an issue since every student has his or her own bedroom.

The area about Zhongshan Park is also very convenient. There are many restaurants located nearby. Cloud Nine Mall, which has the Carrefour grocery store, Starbucks and many other stores, is only a 10-minute walk away. Many vendors also set up shop on Dingxi Lu, the street where the apartments are located.
