About a six-minute walk to Flushing Hospital Medical Center, about 20 minutes to NewYork-Presbyterian Queens, and about 22 minutes to Manhattan by train.

Run by a nonprofit foundation: $1,000 a month and a $1,000 deposit. No guarantor and no US credit history needed.
Quiet for studying
Everyone here is a student, intern or trainee, and there is a study room in the building. The house rules ask for quiet after 10 pm.

Documents for medical students and residents
You can apply without a tour. The review takes a little time, so the earlier you apply the better. The $50 background check fee is charged only after we have told you that you are approved.
See the steps and costs- A copy of your photo ID
- A copy of your resume
- A letter from your medical school confirming your enrollment (residents: a letter from your program confirming your dates)
- Your rotation schedule or placement letter, if you have one
- A short financial need statement, which we send you
Yes. Medical students, residents and hospital trainees are all eligible. We need a letter from your medical school confirming your enrollment, and if you have a rotation schedule or placement letter, sending it too makes the review faster.
No. Stays start at one month and extend month by month when rooms are open. For three months or less, the whole period and the deposit are paid at move-in. For four months or more, it is the first month, the last month and the deposit.
Flushing Hospital Medical Center is on the next block, about a six-minute walk. NewYork-Presbyterian Queens is about a 20-minute walk.
We are sorry, but no. GLF Residence is a student and intern program run by a nonprofit, so in medicine we house medical students, residents and hospital trainees only.
Everyone here is a student, intern or trainee. Every room has a desk and chair, there is a study room in the building, and the house rules ask for quiet after 10 pm.
