Housing & Living
Housing
NYU will try to arrange housing in NYU Residence Halls for all exchange students who meet the application deadline.
NYU housing is not guaranteed for students due to the high demand on campus, particularly for Fall. In this case, NYU will provide alternate short-term housing information to students.
Visiting students are placed in apartment-style residence halls that are either within walking distance from campus or commutable via the free NYU shuttle bus.
Students cannot request a specific residence hall due to high housing demand by full-time students.
Visit the NYU Housing website for additional information.

Health Insurance
Health insurance is required by the University and is a necessity in the United States because of the very high cost of healthcare. When students are registered for classes, they will be charged automatically for the NYU-sponsored Comprehensive Plan.Cost:
The 2020-2021 year-long annual fee for students enrolled in the Comprehensive plan is an estimated $3,912
Fall semester only: $1,507
Spring semester only: $2,405 (higher because it also covers summer)
Please note that health insurance costs are estimates and are subject to change.
Fall semester only: $1,507
Spring semester only: $2,405 (higher because it also covers summer)
Please note that health insurance costs are estimates and are subject to change.
Students also have an option to:
- Apply to waive the NYU-sponsored plans if they maintain other insurance coverage that meets the University's criteria. The deadline to enroll or waive coverage for the Fall semester is September 30 and for the Spring semester is February 10. Students should be cautioned that NYU rarely gives insurance waivers as most insurance plans issued outside of the United States do not meet NYU's insurance criteria. Students considering exchange at NYU Stern should budget to pay for NYU insurance during their stay. To avoid requesting unnecessary waivers, students should ensure their plans meet all of NYU's required coverage aspects listed on the link above before submitting for a waiver.
- Downgrade their coverage to the Basic Plan by September 30 for the Fall semester or by February 10 for the Spring semester.
Full year students: Please note once you select your insurance plan in the fall it cannot be changed in the spring. Your health insurance plan is locked in for the full year. If you want to downgrade from the Comprehensive plan to the Basic plan, you must do it by the fall semester deadline.

Medical
New York State has implemented immunization requirements for all university students. As a result you must submit your immunization paperwork to the NYU Health Center before you arrive at NYU. You must also bring copies of your immunization paperwork with you for your exchange semester. Students who do not submit their paperwork will not be allowed to check into NYU Housing and will also be dropped from their classes.
Please read the Health Requirements for Students on the NYU Student Health Center webpage. The NYU Student Health Center may also contact you directly via email or regular mail about these requirements.
