CUIMC Office of Housing Services

Academic departments handle more than coursework. CUIMC Office of Housing Services manages the logistical side of student life—housing assignments, lease coordination, and temporary accommodations for medical and graduate students at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. These services become essential in a city where real estate moves fast and options narrow quickly. They step in to simplify the search, ensuring students have reliable places to live without the usual New York rental stress.

You’ll find their office at 50 Haven Ave #109, just off Broadway in Washington Heights. The neighborhood blends academic energy with residential calm, a practical base for anyone tied to the medical campus. While the area is known for its proximity to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, it also offers quiet side streets and local cafes that don’t cater exclusively to tourists. The office itself focuses on the administrative details—sublets, dorm availability, and lease reviews—so students can prioritize their studies over apartment hunting.

Reach them directly at (212) 305-4357 ext. for questions about housing options or application deadlines. Directions to the office are available on their map listing. A quick call can clarify what’s available before the semester rush begins.
