THE RENSSELAER GRADUATE COMMUNITY AT CITY STATION
The Rensselaer Graduate Community at City
Station is a new housing development built exclusively
for Rensselaer graduate students and graduate level affiliates.
Developed to make locating and entering housing at Rensselaer a
hassle-free process, it is within walking distance of the
campus, enjoys Rensselaer services such as the Rensselaer
Shuttle and Rensselaer Public Safety, and is, at the same time,
an off-campus private community in itself.
City Station West and City Station
East offer two, three, and four bedroom furnished
suites for single students and City Station
South houses married couples and families. City
Station South suites are unfurnished. At each location,
utilities and internet are included in the rent, and each suite
includes air conditioning, dishwasher, washer and dryer, and
24-hour security monitoring. All residents are provided
off-street parking at no cost and access to an on-site exercise
facility. Various retail outlets, including a coffee shop,
sandwich shop, full service restaurant, and a hair salon are
located on the first floors of West and East.
If you are interested in applying for residence at the
Rensselaer Graduate Community at City Station,

Station website. Applications may be mailed to Dennis
Gornic in the Rensselaer Office of Graduate Education (1516
Peoples Avenue, Troy, NY 12180) or emailed to: dgornic@rpi.edu.
Rooms are assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis until
