The Newman House International Students Organization The Center for Social Responsibility
and Community

Located within walking distance and on the bus line, at the corner of Spruce and Elm Streets in Oneonta, and home to the Catholic Campus Ministry, the Newman House is open to all faiths, all people.

The house is open for meetings, cooking, making friends, discussions, informal gatherings, prayer groups, dinners, study, retreats, quiet time, or just hanging out. International students may bring their friends and cook a meal, watch a video, play pool, or attend one of the casual Newman House suppers followed by game night. This is a great resource center for International Students who want to feel the comforts of home and be warmly welcomed.

Lodging: The Newman House also offers basic, short-term housing in an emergency and during semester breaks or prior to the official move-in date for Res Life. Space is limited so planning early is encouraged.

For lodging requests, counseling services and support, contact Chaplain Larry Curran at:
