Suri Cruise Trades Mom Katie Holmes’ Luxe NY Pad for Dorm Room – Tour in Pics

Katie Holmes’ only child, Suri Cruise, graduated from high school and began her life as a young adult by moving out of her mother’s New York City apartment. She is now sharing a standard dorm room with another female student.

In 2014, Suri Cruise lived with her mother, Katie Holmes, in a rental apartment at the Chelsea Mercantile. But, by 2024, the teenager had made her famous mother an empty nester by moving to college, where she is staying in a dorm.

Katie and her daughter nearly moved to a different home in Apthorp, New York City, after the actress made a bid on a prewar apartment that year. The Upper West Side home has four bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Sources say Katie’s financial advisors convinced her that renting her high-rise luxury apartment was a better option, leading the mother-daughter pair to stay put.

But, the duo’s living arrangements still changed after Suri graduated from LaGuardia High School. Before receiving her diploma, Katie’s daughter bonded with classmates on the streets of New York City on June 20, 2024, ahead of their high school prom.

It wasn’t clear what Suri would be studying at college, but reports suggest she might be interested in a fashion or acting and dance degree.

Suri’s classes at the private university started on August 26, according to the school’s website.

She is expected to share her dorm room with another female student. An insider claimed, “Suri wants the full college experience, so she is giving the dorm rooms a try and she will have a roommate.”

The source also revealed that the teenager is “excited for a new chapter in her life.” The celebrity child will have to get comfortable living in a normal dorm room compared to her mother’s three-bedroom apartment.

In 2022, a former Carnegie Mellon student shared a tour of the freshman dorms, with the college’s biggest dorm being Donner House. The four-level building hosts first-year students, and it’s where 240 new students moved in.

The house is more traditional, with four floors; the first one has a huge community lounge.

The college’s website states, “Despite our size, we boast a very tight-knit and caring community with a lot of spirit.” Donner House is located in the Margaret Morrison Avenue Neighborhood.

Some of the amenities at the complex include a television lounge, a recreational area, a study lounge, a kitchen, and laundry facilities.

While Donner House doesn’t have air conditioning, Scobell House does. Scobell is in the WHeSco community, which includes the Henderson and Welch Houses. The college’s website says WHeSco is close “to many academic buildings and dining options in Resnik.”

But, since Tom Cruise is estranged, he probably won’t be in attendance.

Ahead of her move to the campus, Tom’s daughter showed her love and loyalty to the college. She was recorded showing off a red Carnegie Mellon University sweatshirt in the halls of her high school.
