About SAE Institute of Technology — New York

SAE Institute of Technology is a global network of creative media schools operating in more than 20 countries. The New York campus is located in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan at 218 West 18th Street, surrounded by professional recording studios and music industry offices.

Homestay Near SAE Institute New York — What's Included

Universal Student Housing and HomestayMatch place international students with verified American host families in the New York City metro area. Your host family provides a private furnished room, daily breakfast, and a welcoming home base while you study audio at SAE New York. The 12-month diploma program runs on a demanding schedule with late studio hours — homestay gives you a stable, fully arranged living situation so you can focus on your craft rather than navigating the NYC rental market as a new arrival.

Every host family in our network is screened and verified before placement. We match you based on your school location, schedule, dietary needs, and personal preferences. Once your placement is confirmed, you receive a Welcome Packet with everything you need to get settled, including local transit routes to help you get to the SAE campus in Chelsea. Airport transfer may be available as an add-on service when you apply — contact our office to confirm availability.

SAE New York's diploma program runs 12 months. We offer flexible stays starting from four weeks, with extensions available to cover your full program length.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer homestay for SAE New York students?

Yes. Universal Student Housing and HomestayMatch work with international students attending SAE Institute of Technology's New York campus. We can coordinate your housing to align with your program start date.

What makes homestay a practical choice for SAE audio students?

SAE's studio schedule runs late into the evening, Monday through Thursday. Having a home with meals included — rather than worrying about cooking or grocery shopping after a long studio session — helps you stay focused. A host family also gives you a consistent, quiet space to decompress, which matters when you're building technical skills under pressure.

Do you accommodate study abroad groups or school-arranged placements?

Yes. If your school or program is coordinating housing for a group of students, our office can work directly with your institution. Contact us to discuss group placement options.

How long can I stay?

We require a minimum stay of four weeks. Beyond that, your stay is flexible — you can extend as needed to cover your full SAE program.
