The program, to be operated in conjunction with the University Settlement social service organization, will start with 10 to 15 students bunking in senior citizens' spare bedrooms.
Neither the students nor their elder hosts have been selected yet, but the basics of the program are in place: Participating students will pay $5,000 a year, thousands of dollars less than the cheapest on-campus housing option.
NYU history major Brendan Gutenschwager, 19, said the option doesn't appeal to him, but might attract serious-minded older students.
"If it meant that there were other NYU students in that building, and it's cheaper, why not?" she said.
"We're trying to identify buildings where the financial contribution from students will be meaningful to the seniors," Weingartner said.
Unlike the NYU students, who will not be expected to work, the young people in the Chicago residences spend about 20 hours a week on chores including cooking and cleaning, program director Janet Takehara said.
