Gender Inclusive Housing

Gender Inclusive Housing


Teachers College provides multiple housing options for students to meet the diverse needs of our students. We provide safe and supportive housing for students of all sexes, gender identities and gender expressions, including transgender and gender non-conforming students. All of our housing options include single occupancy bedrooms.

The 2nd - 5th floors of Whittier are gender inclusive singles. This means that individuals can reside in these spaces regardless of their gender; therefore these units will not be assigned based on gender. This decision is designed to create a more inclusive environment for students of all gender identities. The singles on the Gender Inclusive Floors will supplement the more private accommodations (private bath and/or kitchens) already available in Bancroft, NewRes, and Whittier Halls.

We encourage students with questions about our housing options to contact our office at housing@tc.columbia.edu or the Office of Vice President for Diversity and Community Affairs at 212-678-8410.
