Housing

Where to live is a personal preference. Yale Housing advises students to choose off-campus housing within the perimeter of the Yale Shuttle routes however the University is large so proximity to School of Art buildings should be considered.

The School of Art has three main buildings which house departmental facilities and workspace, the addresses of which are:
-Green Hall, 1156 Chapel St (Graphic Design Studios, Photo Labs/Studios)
-353 Crown Street (Painting Studios)
-36 Edgewood Ave (Sculpture Studios, some Photography Studios)

*We have mapped these locations for your reference, as well as the vicinities that most School of Art students choose to live, HERE.

Student feedback indicates that East Rock, Wooster Square, Westville or the Whitney Ave. section of town are nice areas for those who don’t mind a longer walk though the majority of students live in close proximity to the School for convenience when keeping late hours in the studio.
