All first year single students are guaranteed housing in Bard Hall for their first year of medical school. Bard Hall is an 11-story building that contains dormitory style rooms with community bathrooms, student lounges, the campus athletic facility and roof top terraces overlooking the Hudson River and the George Washington Bridge. The building is also home for students enrolled in the College of Dental Medicine and the Schools of Nursing and Public Health. The University’s Faculty-in-Residence also resides in the building.
Housing for couples is available to married couples and couples living in domestic partnership. Domestic partners are defined as two individuals who live together in a long-term relationship of indefinite duration, have an exclusive commitment to each other’s welfare and share financial obligations. Accommodations must be occupied by both the student and their spouses or domestic partner. Documentation is required to qualify as a married couple or as domestic partners. Housing is allocated on a non-discriminatory basis.
Student couples live in typical apartment style accommodations in Bard-Haven Towers, 106 and 154 Haven Avenue. The three towers serve as the landmark feature of Medical Center housing where student couples live in spacious, unfurnished junior and full-size one-bedroom apartments. Students seeking a more typical New York experience reside at the 106 Haven Avenue Residence, a classic New York style walk-up, or the 154 Haven Avenue Residence.
