Residence Life

SJNY does not require any student to reside in on campus housing. However please note that SJNY currently only offers housing to full-time registered undergraduate students.

While there is currently not a meal plan available, students living in the St. George Residence Hall have access to the community kitchen located on the 1st floor which has multiple stovetops and ovens. Students have enjoyed using this space with roommates and friends to cook communal meals. Each room also comes equipped with a full fridge and microwave. Aside from the cooking amenities in the building, Brooklyn is home to restaurants that feature a wide variety of cuisines from all over the world and that cater to specific dietary restrictions. 

The St. George Residence Hall is a short fifteen minute ride on the St. Joseph's University shuttle. Located at 100 Henry Street, 1.5 miles down Myrtle Avenue, it is four stops on the subway or a brisk twenty minute walk. Aside from being  close to campus, the residence hall is one subway stop away from downtown Manhattan and subways can take you anywhere and everywhere in the city.  

All students will be expected to vacate the residence hall during the winter break. Special accommodations to stay over winter break are made in advance on a case by case basis. 

All mattresses are standard twin size.

Each room is furnished with one bed, two dressers, one desk, and one chair per occupant. Each room also comes equipped with one closet, a full bathroom, a full refrigerator and a microwave to be equally shared between each occupant.
