NYU in London Student Housing

All  NYU in London students are housed together in one residence managed and operated by NIDO. The residence is in the King’s Cross area of central London, a thirty minute walk or fifteen minute bus ride north east of the NYU in London academic centre.

NYU in London students live together in one building, within a diverse community of over 1000 young people from all over the world who have chosen to study in London.

All students are required to live in the housing provided. This is a condition of participation / enrolment in the programme.

HOUSING APPLICATION & ALLOCATION PROCESS

NYU in London staff will always endeavour to accommodate student preferences; however, due to space limitations, students may be placed in any of the housing possibilities offered regardless of preferences.
Enrolled students will complete an online Housing Form, stating any preferences, prior to arriving in London. Housing allocations will be sent to each student via their NYU email address at least one week before the semester begins.
