Housing at Old Westbury

Students who plan to take courses at the Old Westbury campus are encouraged and invited to live in the residence halls located just around the corner from the NYIT campus. A shuttle service is provided seven days a week to get you back and forth to campus.

There are five residence halls; King Hall and Anthony Hall are our First Year Experience (FYE) residence halls. New students are placed in these residence halls, and the resident assistants provide programs and activities geared toward college success for the new student. Roosevelt Hall is for upper-class students and features a small architectural studio space. Bolivar Hall is for upper-class students as well as any students who may need housing during the winter intersession. Kennedy Hall is our Life Sciences Living Learning Community; you must be a life sciences major or graduate student to live in Kennedy. All accommodations are suite style. A typical suite has two single rooms, two double rooms, a shared bathroom and small common area. Throughout the campus there are suites designated for graduate students.

All NYIT residence halls are supervised by full-time professionally trained residential staff and resident assistants. The resident assistant (RA) is a paraprofessional staff member of the Office of Housing and Residential Life and reports directly to associate director of housing and residential life. Primarily, the RA is concerned with the growth and development of each individual on his/her floor and the building community as a whole. Additionally, RAs are continually striving to enhance the quality of life for our residents.
