Accommodation For Teaching House Students

As many of our students come from outside New York City and the Tri-State region, Teaching House has had plenty of experience setting them up with different types of short-term accommodation, from hostels to homestays to sublets. We are happy to provide assistance to help students find accommodation that is comfortable, convenient, safe and affordable.

We are currently making reservations for students at the 92nd St YMCA de Hirsch Residence in Manhattan and the Greenpoint YMCA in Brooklyn. For more information, see below:

The Greenpoint YMCA

Of the many YMCAs spread across New York City, the Greenpoint YMCA offers the best balance between price, location, and facilities. Named for the north Brooklyn neighborhood where it's located, this YMCA, like all others, has excellent gym facilities, including a pool, and various fitness and well-being classes. Its rooms are modest, but well-priced and well-tended. But the real highlight of this YMCA is the neighborhood it's located in: Greenpoint is a safe and busy place with plenty of shops, restaurants, and bars. It's also very close to the neighborhood of Williamsburg, a short subway ride (on the L) to midtown Manhattan, and an approximately 45 minute subway ride (on the G then the A/C) to Teaching House.

Rooms are the Greenpoint YMCA are priced from $800 for 28 nights.
