Dear Students,

I’m excited to share news of upcoming transitions in King’s College housing.

The College is expecting it’s largest class of incoming students this fall. And, as a result of changes in City housing regulations, we have to reduce the number of occupants in The Herald Towers and The Vogue to three students per apartment. These factors mean we’re growing and that we need to find additional housing.

Over the past few months we’ve scrutinized numerous buildings in various locations, most of which were inferior to our standards, too expensive, or too far from classrooms. We have, however, found a great building that will serve students well – a brand new building owned by the School of Visual Arts and located 20 minutes away door-to-door on the corner of Ludlow and Delancey Streets. Most of the rooms are singles with a handful of doubles; the building includes amenities that make it attractive:

• Wireless access throughout entire building
• Cable TV access in every room
• FREE laundry!
• Temperature controls in each room
• Secure key card entry for the building and student rooms
• 24/7 security
• Vibrant neighborhood with inexpensive restaurants – not in midtown
• Large student lounge
• Outdoor terrace on second floor

Take a video tour of the building by clicking HERE.

We plan to house all the men in the new building while the Herald Towers and the Vogue will be reserved for female students. Members of Residence Life will meet with your House next week to discuss the fall housing transition and answer any questions you may have. You may also expect to learn more about housing costs over the next few weeks as well.

I’m thankful that the College is growing, it shows God is answering prayer.

Yours sincerely,

Eric Bennett
Dean of Students
