Living Accommodations

BRSS students share living accommodations with students in Bard’s Globalization and International Affairs Program. They live in the de Hirsch Residence of the 92nd St YMHA only a few blocks from Museum Mile and Central Park. The facilities offer on-site laundry, gym, pool, 24-hour security, and fully equipped kitchens. The Upper East Side is a historic, safe, residential neighborhood in which students can take advantage of many different aspects of city life. Students are also able to live off-campus. Students take classes in the BGIA Suite, conveniently located in West Midtown, near all transportation hubs and the beautiful Bryant Park and historic New York City Public Library.

Rockefeller University

Students in the BRSS program also have access to the facilities and resources of Rockefeller University, located on the east side of Manhattan. Among their state-of-the-art facilities is an extensive scientific library.
