Housing

For the Spring 2010 program, all students will be housed in the New Yorker Hotel. Students may choose a single room, a large double room, or a standard double room, subject to availability. In 2009 single rooms were $8,235, large double rooms were $7,410 per student, and the standard double room was $6,205 per student. Rates in 2010 are expected to be similar.

The hotel provides laundry facilities, a gym, a computer cluster, and cooking facilities. It is wired for high speed internet. For more information regarding the hotel itself, please visit:

Resident assistants and 24-hour security personnel are available in case of emergency.

Access

The hotel is located in Manhattan near Madison Square Garden and Penn Station. It is just 5 blocks from NYU's campus (where classes are held), a block from a metro station, and in close proximity to a variety of financial institutions.

The program will provide unlimited subway tokens to allow students to freely move about the city.

Expenses

Costs include regular Duke tuition for one semester, plus a $500 Program Fee, plus a housing cost. The housing cost depends on the type of room chosen. The 2010 housing costs are as follows: Single - $8,565 Large Double - $7,705 Standard Double - $6,450.

Among the items covered by the program fee are unlimited passes on the New York City subways. Existing financial aid packages apply, and accommodations will be made for students who cannot meet the additional housing costs. If you have any questions, please contact your financial aid counselor.

Please note that most items cost more in New York than in Durham. You should assume that costs of groceries and other day-to-day items are approximately 50% more expensive. For a detailed Cost of Living comparison between Durham and Manhattan, see www.bankrate.com.
