Housing

Living in NYU Madrid arranged housing is a mandatory condition of enrollment

Remember, you will be studying and living in another country, so please be prepared for differences. Bedrooms are generally smaller than in the United States and amenities you are accustomed to may not be available.

Chamberí Residence

Students who reside in this residence, located in the Chamberí neighborhood of Madrid, live in shared suites: in single bedrooms with a shared kitchenette. These two person suites have two bathroom facilities (one with sink and shower, one with sink and toilet). NYU residential life members live in the residence to assist students in acclimating to life in Madrid, dealing with practical matters in the residence, and adjusting to their new home. NYU students make up a small portion of those who live in the building. Other residents include Spanish and international students enrolled at local universities. The residence is approximately a 15 minute walk to the NYU Madrid academic center.

Chamberí is a largely residential neighborhood with the popular Plaza de Chamberí and Plaza de Olavide. The residence is a 5 minute walk from the lively Malasaña district, and a 10-15 minute walk from the equally vibrant Chueca district.

The building has WIFI connection, laundry room, study and common areas and an amazing rooftop. Linen, blankets, pillows and towels are provided.
