Brooklyn College is a four-year public liberal arts college and part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system, located in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn. The college enrolls F-1 international students from around the world and offers bachelor's and master's degree programs across the arts, sciences, business, education, and more.
Universal Student Housing and HomestayMatch place international students with verified American host families in the New York City metro area. Your host family provides a private furnished room, daily breakfast, and a welcoming home base while you study at Brooklyn College. A homestay puts you inside a real New York neighborhood from day one — a grounded, affordable alternative to navigating Brooklyn's competitive rental market on your own.
Every host family in our network is screened and verified before placement. We match you based on your school location, schedule, dietary needs, and personal preferences. Once your placement is confirmed, you receive a Welcome Packet with everything you need to get settled, including local transit routes to help you get to campus. Airport transfer may be available as an add-on service when you apply — contact our office to confirm availability.
Students at Brooklyn College come from many countries and arrive throughout the year. Whether you are starting in fall, spring, or mid-year, we offer flexible stays from four weeks with easy extensions if your plans change.
Yes. Universal Student Housing and HomestayMatch work with F-1 international students attending Brooklyn College and other CUNY schools in New York City. We can coordinate your housing to align with your semester start date.
Without on-campus housing, many Brooklyn College international students face a tough search in one of the world's most competitive rental markets. Homestay offers a practical solution — no long-term lease, meals included, and a real New York family to help you settle into the city. It's a smoother landing than searching for apartments from abroad.
Yes. If your school or program is coordinating housing for a group of students, our office can work directly with your institution. Contact us to discuss group placement options.
