New York City Housing Options List All Peridance students are responsible for finding their own housing. The following list is meant to help students get started in their search. Peridance is not liable for the actions of any housing provider included on the list. Please proceed with caution when pursuing online housing providers like Craigslist, as they have been known to offer potentially risky scams. As with all housing in New York, you must make reservations ahead of time. Please contact each individual residence for further information and to book your housing. Prices are subject to change. (Last Updated May 2018) Please note: Many students choose to book a residence for a short period of time upon arrival, perhaps for just a few weeks or a month. This gives them time to find a more suitable longer-term situation that they can then look at firsthand while they are here.
