Student Health Services

College neighborhoods hum with a rhythm all their own—late-night pizza runs, overstuffed backpacks, and the quiet urgency of a student realizing they’ve pulled an all-nighter before finals. Student Health Services fits neatly into that rhythm, offering medical care without the intimidation of a big hospital. A clinic on campus can feel like a lifeline when deadlines loom and energy drinks stop working.

You’ll find it at 80 5th Ave, New York, NY 10011, tucked between the academic buildings and the coffee shops where students rewrite the same paragraph for the third time. Routine check-ups, vaccinations, and urgent care for sudden fevers or sprained ankles are part of the mix. Mental health support is also available, which can make a difference when stress starts to feel like the default setting. The clinic handles minor injuries, prescriptions, and lab work, all within steps of the dorms.

Most visits don’t require an appointment, though calling ahead can save time. Reach them at (212) 229-1671 to confirm hours or ask about specific services. The area around 5th Avenue has that unmistakable student vibe—bike racks overflowing by noon, food carts serving falafel, and the occasional protest poster taped to a lamppost.
