Housing and Meals
On-campus Housing
On-campus housing is available during the summer session. Housing is guaranteed for single students; special housing for families is sometimes available at a higher rate. Applicable housing charges will be added to your student account and must be paid in full prior to the move-in date. All dorms are non-smoking. No pets are permitted in campus housing.
The fee for single student housing is estimated at $1,405 for the 2010 eight-week session. Each student receives a private room with shared bath in an air-conditioned residence hall. Common kitchen and laundry facilities are located on the first floor. Internet and phone services are available in each room. Most rooms include two twin beds; some have only one twin bed. Students are responsible for their own bed and bath linens and cookware. Dormitories are located near Bard's campus center and are convenient to all MFA facilities. Dorms are usually coed; depending on student requests, one dorm may be designated as "quiet."
Off-campus Housing
Off-campus housing is plentiful in the Bard area. Students and faculty interested in living off-campus must make their own arrangements. To assist you, the M.F.A. office provides a list of available local sublets each spring.
Meals
The café located in the Bertelsmann Campus Center is open daily all summer for a la carte service (closed on July 4). Kline dining hall opens in mid-June and serves buffet breakfast ($5), lunch ($7.50) and dinner ($9) daily, weekdays and weekends. You may open a flex charge account on your Bard ID card and receive a 5% discount and no sales tax on meals at any campus dining facility.

Students and faculty may also cook their own meals in their dormitory kitchens. Limited grocery items (cereal, pasta, soup, milk, beverages, snacks) are available in the café and in the campus bookstore; large grocery stores are located about a 5-minute drive from campus. A farmstand selling freshly picked seasonal vegetables, fruits, and local dairy products and pastas is within walking distance of campus. There is also an on-campus community garden open to all for self-picking.
