HERE TO SUPPORT THE UNDERGRADUATE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY
Columbia Housing provides our undergraduate residential students with safe and comfortable accommodations, and a friendly face whenever they have questions or concerns. We're responsible for maintaining the physical integrity, cleanliness and operations of Columbia's 30+ undergraduate residence halls. While we manage a lot of moving parts to keep our buildings in top shape, our number one priority is our undergraduate student residents.
If you are a graduate student seeking University housing, please visit the Columbia Residential website.
The Hospitality Desk is available 24/7 for walk-in support, by phone at 212-854-2779 or email at [email protected] to help with general questions and concerns. For maintenance support in your room or building, open a Service Request with Facilities and Operations at any time.

Submit this form to report a washing machine or dryer maintenance issue. The sooner you report the issue, the sooner we can service the machine!
