Housing Expenses

Yale Housing operates three apartment buildings and a regenerative residence hall, the Living Village, located on Divinity School property, with priority given to YDS students. These buildings contain 133 units total, consisting of micro units, efficiencies, junior one-bedroom, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. Two-bedroom units are assigned to residents who wish to reside with a roommate.

Apartments in the three apartment buildings are unfurnished, and each has a living room, kitchenette (refrigerator and stove included), and bathroom. Leases for these apartments are renewable for the length of study. Units in the Living Village are furnished, and leases are capped at one year.

All students are expected to supply their own linens, flatware, dishes, cooking utensils, pillows, blankets, and other housekeeping equipment. Each building has laundry facilities in the basement.

Rental fees are charged monthly to students’ accounts and include heat, hot water, electricity, and wireless Ethernet. Housing licenses for incoming students run from August 1 to June 30 and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Contracts for renewing students in the three apartment buildings are twelve months, beginning July 1 and expiring June 30.

Students receive notification of available housing, based on their application criteria, via email. See University Housing Services, in the chapter Yale University Resources and Services.
