Once offered admission to the program, students are required to complete an on-line housing questionnaire indicating the type of lodging preferred. Many housing choices are offered. All NYU Paris are required to live in NYU housing, and there are a variety to select from. Your options are a single, double, or suite in a residence hall; a room with a French host family; a single studio apartment/studette; or a shared apartment with other NYU Paris program students. During the 40 years that NYU Paris has existed, a solid network of host families and landlords who receive students has been built.
Housing placements are throughout the various neighborhoods of Paris, and are typically within a 45-minute commute from the NYU Center, which is in the 5th arrondissement. The public transportation system in Paris is extremely reliable and easy to navigate. There are two Metro stops near the NYU Paris Academic Center.
With the exception of the two student residences, housing costs are separate from tuition and fees paid to New York University, and must be paid in local currency directly to Parisian landlords. A cancellation fee may be assessed if a student's written request to cancel the housing license be approved.
Meals
Some students choose the French host family housing option in which certain meals are provided. However, most students will prepare meals in their residences and/or dine in local restaurants. Very reasonably priced restaurants can be found outside of the main tourist areas.
