A new option for student housing in NYC, while campus is closed
The pandemic hit college students hard: missing out on graduations, sports games, the energy of discussions during in-person classes, and of course, dorm living. And with campuses continuing to primarily provide online learning, that will likely hold true through the end of the school year. Enjoying shared meals, game nights, and studying side-by-side are some of the best parts of the college experience. And though your campus may be closed, you can still enjoy all of that — and more — at Cohabs New York.
The pandemic and students
Students were undoubtedly one of the main populations affected by COVID-19. Back in March, campuses closed abruptly as colleges were ordered to send students home by state governments to help prevent the spread of disease. Many went back to their parents’ homes, while others were left to find last-minute temporary housing. Things continued much the same through the fall, with colleges mainly teaching classes online and not opening campus dorms up for housing except in limited circumstances. In NYC, opening for the spring semester looks especially limited because of increased positivity rates across the city.
Some universities are only opening one or two dormitories for students with the most housing needs, which still leaves many who need short-term housings left out. But whatever your situation is, Cohabs is here to help.
A coliving experience suited to students
Our brand-new coliving house in Brooklyn can provide a similar but elevated college coliving experience so students don't have to miss out… and can stay safe. First off: flexible short-term leases. There is so much unknown at this point, that locking yourself into a year-long apartment lease isn’t feasible. Cohabs leases start at just three months, so if something in your situation changes, or your college dorms open back up, you have ample flexibility. Second, there are multiple levels of pricing, and all are quite the deal in NYC considering how many amenities and services are provided. Enjoy a beautifully designed house with multiple living spaces, a completely furnished bedroom, cleaning services, laundry, grocery delivery, utilities, and more.
Third, community. Living with people who become friends (and even family) is a significant part of the college experience, from movie nights to decorating for holidays, to making food together. And you can get that all at Cohabs. You’ll be surrounded by other young 20-30-somethings who you can live, work and play with, just as you would in a college dorm (though one that has much better interior design!). And there’s plenty more where that came from… Here’s a rapid-fire rundown of all Cohabs provides for students: - Adaptable pricing, with countless amenities
- Flexible lease terms, starting at 3 months
- Easy, contact-free move-in with mobile app
- Built-in community and events
- Common grocery delivery
