Since our inception in 1987, we have provided hundreds of thousands of students and interns—many of whom travel across America and from over 50 countries worldwide—with a place to call home in New York City. But with EHS you're not only getting an education or internship experience, you're opening a door to a new life.

At EHS, community and the quality of student life  is at the forefront of everything we do. It is our mission to create strong student communities in partnership with schools and universities that encompass a scholastic environment and promote the values of diversity, independence, growth and life-long friendships.

We don’t just provide NYC student and intern housing; together we create your home.

Beyond our residence development and management, our comprehensive Student Life Program is crucial to our mission and our trailblazing success. Residential activities, as well as many special events in and around the city, inspire students to discover their vital new living community and the wonders of New York City safely and affordably. Before long, students embrace our supportive environment as a true home away from home, which helps them to flourish academically and socially.

Our staff has decades of experience in higher-education management. Their experience has been essential to providing the ideal balance of structure and independence that helps college students succeed.

And whether you’re going out or staying in, our student life staff hosts optional activities that make it easy to branch out. Compete in a video-game tournament; perfect your personal brand at a resume workshop; sing your heart out at a Karaoke party — you’ll get to know each other in no time.

And when it comes time for city exploration, we’ll guide you on a Hudson River cruise, get you tickets to a Broadway show, save you a seat at a Yankees or Mets game, and take you ice skating in Central Park — whatever your interests, EHS helps make the city yours.

We also offer round-the-clock emergency on-call services, and our fully trained residence directors can provide guidance and medical referrals if you’re ever in need.
