Living on Campus
The Office of Residential Services at Teachers College strives to create a multicultural campus community that supports students in their academic endeavors and personal growth. The residence halls bring together graduate students from all over the world in an environment that provides a unique opportunity to establish new friendships, explore other world views, and take advantage of all that New York City offers. Living close to the campus affords students easy access to the library, classrooms, gymnasium, and other Columbia University facilities. Students may choose to take advantage of a wide range of planned residence hall activities, club meetings, departmental lectures, and musical and dance events.
Please note: INSTEP housing is referred to as Summer Conference Housing and has a separate application process than school-year housing.
The Office of Residential Services offers a limited number of spaces within the residence halls to accommodate persons attending summer conferences, classes, workshops, or interning. This includes INSTEP. Conference guests and workshop attendees will be housed in our 517 West 121st residence hall. To view our latest version of our brochure detailing this service please
