Outside Europe, New York is the city that receives the greatest number of Danish students. Our establishment of Academic Guest House was based on a desire to provide the best possible framework for Danish students, researchers and anyone requiring further education in a city where it is difficult to find suitable accommodations.
The Academic Guest House is located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. The property is a charming townhouse on a quiet side street adjacent to Central Park. This is a central location in relatively close proximity to many of the city's educational institutions. Having several subway lines within 5 minutes' walking distance means a maximum of 30 minutes' commuting between your home and the city's most important universities and art schools.
The Guest House has room for 22 students distributed between 12 fully furnished and move-in ready apartments. During your stay, you will have excellent opportunities for entering into communities with the other occupants. Other than the private apartments, the Guest House also provides access to a meeting room, a small library and a roof terrace.
Academic Guest House is owned by the Bikuben Foundation's American sister foundation, Bikubenfoundation New York Inc., which was founded by the Bikuben Foundation in 2003. The 1300-m2 Manhattan property was acquired in 2005 by Bikubenfoundation New York Inc. for the purpose of establishing a hall of residence for Danish students. This hall of residence, dubbed the Academic Guest House, was inaugurated on 1 January 2008.
