SIC House

Cheaper than staying in the city yet closer to campus than most suburbs, SIC House offers Manhattan dorm life at student-friendly rates. Walking west from Broadway, the six-story red-brick building sits mid-block on a quiet stretch of West 113th Street. Public transit runs nearby; the 1 train drops riders three blocks south if subway stairs feel shorter than textbook pages. A house in name only, the place blends privacy with convenience—rooms lock individually, Wi-Fi blankets every floor, and common kitchens keep meals out of the university meal plan. A security card keeps after-hours entry smooth and packages stop disappearing on porches; air-conditioning units hum in every unit come heat season. Bike racks line the back alley for those who study better with pedals first. Share the hallway with classmates and call 212-854-1188 for availability—rooms booked online vanish fast. Find their front door on the map at 619 W 113th St, New York, NY 10025 and tap the link above when the walk from subway to sidewalk feels long.
