  I'm a student and I looooove the library at Roosevelt House!! It's so peaceful and quiet and just the perfect environment to do homework. I can't wait for a break in between semesters so I can finally have time to browse the AMAZING selection of books!! :)

  One of New York City's hidden gems. A magnificent property which was owned and occupied by members of the Roosevelt family for almost half a century and is still in use by Hunter College and a Policy Studies Institute. At time of writing guided tours are only available on Saturdays, for individuals and small groups, and Fridays, for larger groups. Pre-booking is recommended because otherwise availability is not guaranteed. Tours, guided by well-informed staff, provide fascinating insights into FDR and Eleanor's campaigns and lives before, during and after the time they owned the property. Well worth taking the trouble to make a reservation and take the tour.

  A haven for Hunter students and home of the Human Rights program, Roosevelt House hosts numerous public programs, speakers, and events throughout the year (and I believe always for free). The house, in which Eleanor Roosevelt used to reside in, is absolutely gorgeous. Sign up for their mailing lists or like their Facebook page, which is updated every day. Do yourselves a favor and benefit from this amazing institution at least once!
