University Housing

Student housing subsidized by the University in the Morningside Neighborhood is guaranteed for all GSAS PhD candidates at Columbia for 5 years. After this period, students must *justify* why they must remain in housing for each additional year for two years maximum.

For students wishing to change their housing option (move into another apartment within the university system), please see the ​UAH page.

If you for some reason turn a housing offer down you are out of the system. If you than want to get back into the system it is very hard but possible. Deferral etc. does not exist.

You can move out from the housing in the middle of a semester with full refund.
