Living in NYC
Students have the option of individually reserving student housing through Educational Housing Services (EHS). The Fashion School believes that EHS is a favorable choice for New York City student housing while completing your studies at the NYC Studio or participating in summer internships.
“From its inception in 1987, Educational Housing Services, Inc. (EHS http://www.studenthousing.org/) has committed itself to providing safe, affordable and innovative off-campus housing solutions for students, many of whom have traveled across America and from over 50 countries worldwide to study here. Each residence features 24-hour security and on-site staff support, fully furnished rooms, and the amenities that students expect and parents appreciate. In the process, we have become the foremost resource for quality privatized student housing in New York City, serving more than 5,000 students and summer interns each year. Residential activities, as well as many special events in and around the city, inspire students to discover their vital new living community and the wonders of New York City safely and affordably.”
Go to www.studenthousing.org for details and information on what they offer. To set-up EHS student housing, call 1.800.297.4694 to book your reservation and be sure to mention you are a Kent State Fashion School student. When you sign-up, you can request a roommate, but both you and your roommate request must request each other AND request the same housing option in order for EHS to match you up. Please keep this in mind.
It is the student's responsibility to secure housing, prior to their move to NYC. Please note, you are not required to use EHS for your housing needs while attending the NYC Studio. For additional housing options in New York City: NYC Alternative Housing,
