Your FAQ's

The following lists are suggestions to help you prepare for your stay. We recommend that you bring only the things which you cannot live without, as your room will fill up quickly. Unless you are in a single room, you will have a roommate(s) and will need to share your space accordingly. Items that interfere with fire safety equipment and laws are not permitted in the residence. Remember that you will be living in a city that has access to everything!

Quill assigns residents to one of three types of rooms, Female, Male or Neutral. Single gender rooms (Female, Male) are assigned to residents whose gender identity aligns with the gender of that room and who wish to live in a single gender room. Neutral gender rooms allow residents to reside with other residents regardless of gender identity, sex or gender expression. By selecting this option, residents commit to living in a room/suite occupied by other residents who also prefer gender neutral housing and whose gender identity may or may not match their own.

We take several factors into consideration when pairing roommates together such as age, sleep schedule and programs. We always attempt to match roommates based off the information you provide during your room reservation, but it is not always guaranteed. If you have any special requests, please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate them.

There is no curfew; our residences have 24-hour access to come and go as they please. However, we do have quiet hours that are New York City ordinances which are from 11pm-9am. During final exams we have a 24-hour quiet hours in effect. Please feel free to contact us for more information and guidelines.

We strongly urge residents to carry renters insurance. In an unlikely event of fire, theft, water damage or natural disaster, Quill International housing does not accept responsibility for any damage incurred to personal property. Parents are also encouraged to check to see if their home owners policies covers their children’s belongings while at school and if not, there are several companies that are specialized in the area of residence students.
