ON CAMPUS HOUSING Housing is one of the best kept secrets of Einstein! Rent is cheap, by NYC standards and in general, and is inclusive of WiFi and utilities. Each student gets their own room, and they’re very spacious (enough to fit at least a queen bed, desk, futon, dresser, and more). The apartment layout/number of apartment-mates determines how much your rent will be. There is a shared laundry room at the bottom of each building at your own expense. The vast majority of medical students live in the on-campus apartments, and it really helps contribute to the tightknit community we have here on campus! There are several different apartment layouts: 3-bedroom, 2-bedroom, or studios. Please note that Einstein Housing lists the 3-bedroom units as 2-bedroom, and 2-bedroom units as 1-bedroom. This is because for families with children, 3-bedroom units are converted to 2-bedrooms with a larger living room area, the same is with the 2bedroom units. As of April 2022, rent pricing was as follows: 3-bedroom: $472.34 per person 2-bedroom: $551.71 per person Studio: $788.95 per person Please note that these rent prices are slated to increase by ~10% in the near future. Note: the bedrooms do not have built-in lights, so when moving in be sure to bring your own lamps or track lights. Kitchen appliances include a gas stove, oven and fridge/freezer combo. There is no built-in microwave in the kitchen, nor is there a dishwasher. Around May, you will receive an email from housing asking you to fill out a housing application. Here you will be able to select your layout preferences, if there is someone specific you want to request to live with, and any roommate preferences you may have. We recommend you start getting to know some of your classmates beforehand via Discord and social media if you don’t want to leave your roommate just up to chance! Note, it is highly unlikely to receive a studio as a first year, there is usually a 2-3 year wait for these. In the case you don’t receive the apartment layout you want, there is a waitlist available at https://www.einsteinhousing.org/our-residencies that you can add yourself to.
