Housing and Meals

 

On-campus Housing

On-campus housing is available during the summer session. Housing is guaranteed for single students; 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 $1,276 for the 2008 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.To view the 2008 sublet list, go to www.bard.edu/mfa/summer and login with your username and password.
