Masters Program

HOUSING

Graduate students have the option of living in University-owned housing on South Campus or in off-campus apartments or houses. Apartment-style university housing is available in Slocum Heights on South Campus, about two miles from Main Campus. Free shuttle bus service is available. These apartments are furnished, utilities are included, and one communications fee covers phone, cable and internet service. Apartment layouts, virtual tours, and associated costs are all available on the University's Housing Web site. University housing is available on a first-come, first-served basis. It fills up quickly since returning students take the majority of the available spots. If you choose to live on campus, you should apply for housing as soon as possible.

There are also numerous apartment complexes and rental houses that our graduate students choose to live in. Many are within walking distance or on the bus line. We recommend that you read through the Office of Off-Campus Student Services website, before you begin your off-campus housing search.

This apartment complex is privately-managed but for SU students only: http://www.myownapartment.com/uvcolvin/community/

Web sites with information on the University neighborhood:

For students in Broadcast Journalism, you will spend six weeks in Washington, D.C. next July and August. Housing arrangements are up to you, but there will be housing available in a Boston University dormitory, very close to Greenberg House, your center of operations. Each apartment is three bedrooms, two baths, with a small kitchen and living room. Each bedroom can be rented either as a single (approximately $2,200) or double (approximately $1,700 per student).

Meal plan information is also available at http://housingmealplans.syr.edu. Most Newhouse students do not purchase meal plans, however they do put money in their SUpercard account, which works like a debit card, and can be used in any campus café.

Parking on campus is at a premium, so we suggest that students take the shuttle bus from South Campus and walk and/or take a bus from their off-campus apartments. For students who live farther from campus, parking is available in commuter lots. For parking information and links to bus schedules, please go to the Parking Web site.
