Housing selection at Manhattan University is done via an online housing lottery.  To qualify for the online housing lottery, you must complete the following two steps:

• Pay your deposit

• Submit a housing application

Room Reservation Security Deposits

You must pay a $400 Room Reservation deposit to signup for Fall 2024 - Spring 2025 Housing. The $400 Room Reservation is non-refundable.

You must first meet your current term financial obligation and then process your secure, online Contg Student Housing Room Reservation Deposit via credit card or eCheck at manhattan.edu/deposits. Be sure to select the term Fall 2024. 

Online Housing Application

You will need to fill out a housing application online through myMU before you can participate in the housing selection process.  The housing application is separate from the online lottery.

Roommates

In order to reserve a space, you must be able to fill that space with other students who have all qualified by paying their $400 room reservation deposits and filling out their online housing applications.

Can't find a roommate?  We can help. We host roommate mixer and housing information sessions in the spring where you can meet other students who are looking for a roommate. Additionally, If you live on-campus currently, talk to your RA about finding a roommate as they can give you good advice and ideas.

You will receive an email from Residence Life once you are qualified to select roommates and housing.  Once you receive this email you will be able to return to myHousing to electronically match with your roommates.  Only students who have fulfilled the two qualifying requirements will be searchable.

Lastly, all roommate matches must be mutual.  In addition to searching for your desired roommate and sending them a request, you must log on to myHousing to accept a similar request from them.

Paid Single Rooms

Manhattan University offers a limited amount of paid single rooms in Chrysostom Hall.  Paid single rooms are not offered in any other building on campus. Those who need a single room as part of a medical accommodation will need to complete the Housing Accommodations Application with the Specialized Resource Center.

Graduate and Veteran Student Housing

We offer 12-month housing in Jasper Hall for Graduate and Veteran students.We understand that graduate students have a particular set of needs that are not often met while living with undergraduate students.

Beginning in the Fall of 2024, Manhattan University is excited to offer Graduate Student housing in Jasper Hall. These facilities come with single-room traditional-style accommodations, which includes free laundry, high speed wireless internet, and all utilities. Residents of Jasper Hall also have access to a large study/collaborative learning space on the ground floor as well as a large recreational, community lounge on the second floor.

Graduate Housing is offered for 12-month contract periods (from August-August) in order to accommodate many of the exciting internship and research opportunities you might take advantage of while attending college in New York City.

Housing Lottery

The online housing lottery will take place over the month of April. You will receive correspondence from Residence Life beforehand to inform you when you are qualified to participate. Remember, to qualify you need to pay your room reservation deposit, and complete your online housing application.

Also, remember that you must be able to fill the entire space you want to reserve. All students filling the space must be qualified to participate in the lottery. Do yourself and your friends a favor and make sure everybody has paid their deposit, registered for courses, and filled out their online housing application.

The online lottery will be based on times rather than lottery numbers. Students who are qualified to participate will receive their lottery time a few days prior to when the lottery opens. The most important thing to remember is to pay your room reservation deposit and fill out your online housing application so that you can get a lottery time!
