CHOOSE YOUR RESIDENCE OPTIONS
We have spaces suitable for students who are arriving single, partnered, or with a family. During the application process, you’ll have a chance to rank your room/apartment preferences. If you’re a single student applying for a shared apartment, be sure to complete the Lifestyle Questionnaire within the application to search for compatible roommates. Those who are already matched with roommates may apply together.
Shared unit assignments are more likely due to high demand for single units (studios and one-bedroom apartments).
We anticipate that the demand for on-campus housing will exceed availability, and housing cannot be guaranteed. Off-campus housing resources are available here.

CONFIRM YOUR HOUSING ASSIGNMENT
Assignments are made according to your ranked preferences and space availability. Once you receive a housing assignment by email, sign your housing license online and submit a deposit by the deadline to confirm it. Complete instructions will be included in the housing assignment notification sent to your *Cornell email.
An active Net ID is required to apply – it is important to activate your NetID and Cornell email account promptly once you receive the activation instructions from Admissions.
All official Cornell Tech Housing communications are sent to your Cornell University email address, so we strongly recommend checking your inbox regularly.
