College Housing

The Residential Towers: The Albert Einstein College of Medicine's residence complex consists of three 27-story towers, with 634 air-conditioned apartments, a large underground garage, and an extensively landscaped sitting/playing area. The monthly rent, which includes all utilities, averages $355 for a studio, $500 for a one-bedroom apartment and $680 for a two-bedroom apartment. The actual rent varies, depending upon the floor. With two or three students sharing a one or two bedroom apartment, the monthly cost is significantly reduced, averaging about $250 per student. An active list of students seeking roommates is available. All students entering the Sue Golding Graduate Division are eligible for housing on campus. Since apartments are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, and the demand for apartments in the Residence Complex is great, reservations should be made by entering students as early as possible. Further information is available through the Graduate Office.

Rhinelander Apartments: The College of Medicine also operates the Rhinelander Apartment House, two blocks from the main campus, for the exclusive use of students and post-doctoral fellows. The monthly rent for these apartments varies from $361 for a studio to $650 for a two-bedroom apartment. Here also, the cost can be reduced significantly through sharing.

Mazer Building: Built in 1959, this building currently accommodates the Student Health Services, which provides general medical care for all students. It also houses the Evelyn & Joseph I. Lubin Student Center which serves as the dining facility for members of the Einstein community.

Anne and Isidore Falk Recreation Center: Facilities at the Falk Recreation Center are available to students at no charge. Its full-size gymnasium accommodates a suspended indoor jogging track, and regulation basketball, volleyball, badminton, racquetball and squash courts.

The recreation facility also includes a 75 foot five-lane swimming pool, weight-training rooms with state-of -the-art equipment. Other amenities include locker rooms, whirlpool, sauna and steam rooms. An extensive intramural program is offered for participation in basketball, soccer and volleyball games. In addition, aerobic, yoga, dance, swimming, racquetball and squash classes are available. Check this link too.

Living in New York City: The Bronx...........................................Life in Bronx: Guide from Montefiore Medical Center

The neighborhood surrounding the Albert Einstein College of Medicine is a safe and cozy corner of New York City made up of private homes and convenient shopping centers. Closer to our home are the restaurants and marinas of City Island, an authentic fishing community that is still part of New York City. Also, right here in the Bronx, are the world-renowned Wildlife Conservation Park (better known as the Bronx Zoo) and the New York Botanical Garden. Orchard Beach is minutes away, for a cool dip in the summer. Sprawling Pelham Bay Park, also close by, is one of the area's premier spots for hiking, swimming, horseback riding, golfing, bicycling, and bird watching. A few miles to the north are the outskirts of Westchester County, rich with its nature preserves, forests and, yes, farms.

If you are looking for sports, we have more major league teams than any other community in the country. The Bronx is the home of Yankee Stadium, where the beloved (or hated, depending on where you're from) Yankees have won 33 pennants and 22 World Series. The occasional miracle happens at Shea Stadium, where the Mets play across the river in Queens, also part of New York City. The U.S. Open Tennis Tournament is played each year at the National Tennis Center, also in Queens. In Manhattan, Madison Square Garden hosts the action of the NBA Knicks and NHL Rangers. The Meadowlands Sports Complex, a short ride over the border into New Jersey, is home to the Giants, the Jets, the NBA Nets and the NHL Devils. There are also enough college sports to exhaust even the most die-hard fan.

What is available just beyond our neighborhood is staggering. Just minutes away to the south is Manhattan, the hub of New York City, with its confluence of culture, science and entertainment unmatched anywhere on this continent. An express bus can take you directly from the campus down Fifth Avenue into the heart of the city. Here's a short list of some of the stops in Manhattan you might want to make while you take a break from your studies: Broadway, Lincoln Center, Radio City Music Hall, Carnegie Hall, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The American Museum of Natural History, the Hayden Planetarium, Chinatown, Little Italy, The Empire State Building, and the Statue of Liberty. There are also literally hundreds of affordable restaurants and cafes that serve food from every place on earth.

Finally, you will be educated in a city that is home to a number of pre-eminent scientific institutions. In addition to Einstein's world-class teaching and research, New York City is home to nearly a dozen universities and five other medical schools. Scientific collaborations among the faculty of these institutions abound. New York City is also home to one of the largest complex of hospitals and research facilities in the nation.
