Housing at GTS
While welcoming and accommodating a growing number of commuter students, the Seminary believes that students gain substantially from their Seminary experience by being participating residents of the Seminary community. There are dormitory accommodations and apartments available, both within the Close and opposite the Chapel of the Good Shepherd on West 20th Street. Students must be full-time in order to qualify for GTS housing. Apartments are rented on a twelve-month basis except when the student graduates sooner. Pets are welcome in all GTS housing units.
Dormitory rooms are furnished with basic essentials: dresser, desk, chair and bed. Students need to supply blankets, linen, lamps and any other furnishings they desire. Most one- or two-bedroom apartments have a kitchen with refrigerator and stove, bathroom, and living room. However, size varies from efficiency to three-bedroom apartments. The amount and size of furniture you bring must be planned carefully. Although there are no connections in the apartments for personal washers or dryers, two laundry rooms with washers and dryers accommodating debit-card payment are maintained by the Seminary. Gas and electricity are included in the rent, but telephone, television, and cable television costs are not included in the rent.
The cost of meals for the school year will be $2,400; or $1,200 per semester. This price will include the cost for the three special meals per year i.e. Matriculation, St. Nicholas event and Graduating class dinner. Wine for two events will be included ( Matriculation and Graduating class) as we will be unable to bring our own, due to the liquor license being held by the TUTU center.
All students must comply with the GTS Housing Policy as stated in the Community Life Handbook. Please refer to the Housing Policy (See below) for further information. This document may be obtained from the Housing Manager.
