Where to Stay


There are a variety of options for accommodations during Commencement season. Several off-campus options are detailed below. 

Accommodation

To avoid significant traffic congestion around campus during Commencement season, traveling by subway will be the best option for most people. Consider choosing accommodations near a subway stop, ideally along the Number 1 Train, which connects all of Columbia University’s campuses in upper Manhattan. 

Discounted rates may be available to students and guests at some local hotels upon inquiry. Nearby hotels do fill up well in advance, so it is recommended that you make your reservation as soon as possible. There are many other hotels in New York City, many of which are only a short subway ride from the University.
