Room assignments are made by New York University on the basis of the legal sex of the student, which is the sex assigned to the student at birth. However, students now have the option of requesting a room assignment based on gender identity, which is the gender a student identities with that may be different from the sex assigned to that student at birth. If a student selects this option, we will see to place the student in a room or suite with others of the same gender identity who have requested a room assignment on this basis, however, placement is not guaranteed. If such housing is not possible, legal sex will be used in determining housing placement in the Residential College. Please click here for more information about this option.

If you wish to be assigned based upon your legal sex, DO NOT make a preference change here.
