Break Housing
St. John’s University Residence Life offers two types of break housing: winter break housing and summer housing.
Winter break housing offers housing for current resident students staying on campus during the winter holiday season when regular-term housing closes.
Summer housing is provided for students who stay on campus during the summer for classes, and/or University affiliated internships and research opportunities. While both housing options are available to students requiring housing outside of the standard academic year, each housing option has specific guidelines, availability and cost.

Summer Housing
Summer housing for students who are registered for classes offers a practical and convenient living arrangement, allowing students to stay on or near campus while they complete their academic coursework. Taking summer classes and staying on campus can be a highly beneficial experience. Summer housing provides access to campus resources such as the library, recreational/fitness locations and University offices.
Students enrolled in summer classes should apply for housing through the Office of Residence Life and submit a $200 deposit along with the summer housing application. Please note that dining options on campus are limited during the summer months, so you'll need to plan your meals.
Students who are interested in remaining on campus, but are not enrolled classes, should apply for housing through the Office of Conference Services.
