College of Staten Island CUNY

What are the popular events and traditions at College of Staten Island CUNY?

CSI's recurring academic and community events include commencement, activities welcoming students at the start of a term, and opportunities for students to present their work. The college's undergraduate research and scholarship conference is one example of an event centered on student projects rather than athletics or entertainment.

Club activities, arts performances and campus lectures add events throughout the year, but their schedules vary. Prospective students seeking a particular cultural celebration, performance or club fair should consult the current CSI events calendar instead of assuming an event recurs on the same date or in the same format each year.

What are the student housing and dining options at College of Staten Island CUNY?

CSI offers college-associated student housing at Dolphin Cove, but most students live off campus and commute. The residence option includes shared living arrangements; eligibility, room selection and contract terms should be checked during the housing application process. Availability should not be taken as a guarantee of placement.

Campus dining provides food options for students spending the day at CSI. Residents should confirm whether a meal plan is offered or required under their particular housing arrangement and what the plan actually covers. Commuters, meanwhile, may find it more useful to compare dining hours with their class schedule. Housing charges and meal expenses are separate considerations from the resident undergraduate tuition rate.
