Weill Cornell Medicine guarantees housing for incoming, single MD, MD-PhD, and PhD students. The majority of first-year students reside are placed in Olin Hall, which is across the street from our main campus. (Depending on availability, some first-year PhD students may be placed in Memorial Sloan Kettering residences.) After their first year, students in Olin Hall move to accommodations in other buildings that offer a range of room styles and price points. Housing placement is typically determined by a lottery based upon the year of the student. While we are unable to accommodate every request, we strive to meet as many students’ preferences as possible.
Family housing is not guaranteed, but we do our best to accommodate incoming married couples, domestic partners, and families. If family accommodations are not available, we help students navigate the private rental market.
