Northeastern University at Midtown Manhattan

Overview

Northeastern University has leased housing in Midtown Manhattan, NYC through Educational Housing Services (EHS), a non-profit organization that provides comfortable and secure residences for students in need of short-term housing in New York City. While EHS has multiple residences in the New York City area, the Midtown Manhattan building is known as the New Yorker Hotel. Reservations, payment, preparation, move-in, and move-out procedures are coordinated by Northeastern University’s Network Housing & Relocation office.

Location

The New Yorker Hotel is a 43-story Art Deco hotel that opened in 1930 located across the street from Penn Station (including Long Island Rail Road, Amtrak, and Madison Square Garden) and a short walk to the A, C, and E subway lines. In the heart of the bustling Manhattan, the New Yorker hotel is still a functioning hotel, but the floors owned by EHS are specifically for individuals in need of short-term housing (most of them college students).

Accomodations

Northeastern University has 20 single rooms available at the Midtown Manhattan location, and all rooms are available on a first come, first served basis. Each room is a single bedroom with a private bathroom directly attached and includes a regular twin-size bed, desk, chair, dresser, mini-fridge, television, and closet. Refer to studenthousing.org/student-life/new-yorker/arrival to learn more about what you should and should not bring with you for your stay. Your payment for this housing includes the following amenities:

All utilities: heating, cooling, electricity, internet, and cable
Communal kitchen
Fitness center
Mail and package services
Card-operated laundry facilities in the building
24-hour main-entry security desk and surveillance

Guest Policy: Please note that EHS enforces a strict guest policy. You must sign in all overnight guests prior to their stay, and there is a $5.00 charge per night, which goes toward student programming.

Applications and Payments

How do I apply?
You can attend a Beyond Boston Housing Workshop and/or contact Sonya Cottam at s.cottam@northeastern.edu. After completing this step, you can submit the Housing Application here. Once Network Housing & Relocation has received the application, a staff member will give you deposit authorization.

How much is the housing deposit?
The deposit is $200 per term you will be living in the housing, so most co-op students are paying $400 as their deposit. (For example, $200 deposit for Summer II and $200 for Fall). You are required to pay the deposit when you submit your Beyond Boston Housing Application, that will go towards the total housing payment.

How will I be billed?
You will be billed to your NU account in the same manner as NU on-campus housing.

Can I transfer my on-campus housing deposit to a Beyond Boston Housing deposit?
No, all Beyond Boston Housing deposits must be made through NUPAY. Your on-campus housing deposits will be refunded once you cancel with Housing Services – https://www.northeastern.edu/housing/cancellation-deadlines/.

If I decide not to live in the Beyond Boston Housing I applied for, or if I can’t get the Beyond Boston job I wanted, do I still have to pay for the room?
You must cancel your housing in writing with Network Housing & Relocation 45 days prior to the official start date of the co-op term to avoid paying any housing fees. If you cancel within 45 days of the official start date of the co-op term you will be responsible for ALL 26 weeks of payment.

Move-in/Move-out

Can I move in early/stay late?
Since co-op terms are back to back, early arrivals or late departures directly impact the move-in/move-out and schedule for the student living in the housing before or after you, and can be declined by the housing provider if there is not enough time to clean the rooms between students. If there are extenuating circumstances that require you to move-in early or late, contact Network Housing & Relocation so that we can work with you on arranging short-term accommodations.

Room and Building Amenities

Are the rooms furnished?
Yes. Each room is furnished with a twin-sized bed, desk, and dresser for each student. However, you are responsible for bringing your own linens.

Do I have to pay utilities?
No. Utilities are included in the cost of the room.

Who should I contact if something in the room is broken?
You should contact your residence staff. More information will be given to you upon check-in. If you are having trouble contacting your residence staff, e-mail NHR@northeastern.edu.
