Location and Getting there |
Parsons' main campus is located downtown in Greenwich Village, an historic neighborhood with a style and atmosphere found nowhere else in New York City. The Village is home to design and art studios, galleries, shops and restaurants, as well as avant garde artists, musicians and writers.
With rich cultural resources, international sophistication, and cutting edge attitude, New York City is a vibrant environment that has inspired and challenged artists and designers throughout its history. To Parsons' faculty, the city is an extension of the classroom and is incorporated into the basic fabric of the curriculum. New York is home to more than 80 museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art. Parsons faculty teaches the architecture of the city, the fabric of its populations, and the language of its commercial and private communication. In short, Parsons faculty uses New York City as an urban design laboratory to teach students to look, learn, and feel the world around them.

We offer housing to over 1,100 students in the Greenwich village and Wall Street areas. In addition to this we also provide exciting social and educational programs and activities for our residents.
Each of our residences is unique and provides something for everyone. Once the home of famous Beat poets in the 1960s, Marlton House is now home to a warm and strong community that nurtures its residents year after year. The Union Square Residence, a popular choice, is amid the hustle and bustle of Union Square Park and its summer concerts, farmers markets, and many other distinctive New York experiences. A strong and very active residence life staff in our primarily freshmen residences – Loeb Hall and the 13th Street Residence – gives students exceptional programming and close personal attention. While returning students mingle with freshmen at the Village residences, many of them join graduate students at the William Street Residence where they enjoy the sights and sounds of the South Street Seaport and the historic Wall Street area.
