Housing

GBI facilitates access to an inexpensive on-campus dormitory-style housing.  Rates may differ by the amenities offered. The required compensation must be paid to the housing office, and not to Global Bioethics Initiative. The use of this housing is only possible during the duration of the program. Housing availability starts from June 3rd to August 6th for the Brookdale Residence Hall and 79th Street apartments. 

NOTE: No staff will be available on July 4th to July 7th, which are national holidays, to help participants check in; summer school participants who want to reside at either housing option will check in on July 8th.
