The Office of Student Life and Housing promotes campus life and Residence Life programming for Brooklyn College students that live both on and off campus. For students wanting to live near campus, the office also offers referrals to the nearby residence hall owned and operated by RHBC Management LLC, as well as other housing sources in the Brooklyn area.
The Office encourages students to build a community on campus, and is focused on guiding students to campus resources that can assist with their matriculation at Brooklyn College.
Our programming and residence life activities may be found at: http://www.facebook.com/bcrezlife and http://bcrezlife.blogspot.com/
Please note: Brooklyn College provides housing information solely for the convenience of its students. The college does not endorse or recommend any housing. Housing arrangements are the exclusive responsibility of the student.
Residence Hall:
The Residence Hall at 1Kenilworth Place provides residential living for Brooklyn College students. The Residence Hall is owned by RHBC Management LLC, a private company offering a suite style residence hall for students. For more information please visit http://www.1kenilworth.com.
Other Housing Resources:
Apartments, furnished rooms and shares are available in the College neighborhood and some landlords notify us of available accommodations. Housing referrals are posted on the housing database.
