Housing for The Washington Center and New York Arts Program is provided by the partner programs. Students are typically housed in dorms/shared apartments with small shared kitchens. Students should expect to utilize public transportation to commute to internship placements and/or courses. Unless pressing health reasons are involved, there can be no assurance that housing will not require using public transport. There are typically no transportation subsidies at any study away program. All students need to be prepared to assume the responsibility for their own local transportation costs, which will vary, depending on where they live, from $20-$50 a week.

Students participating in study away programs are required to be housed according to the arrangements made by that program. No student may move from the arranged housing without the approval of the Executive Director of the Center for International Programs in advance. Any participant, who moves from this housing without approval in advance, except in emergency circumstances, will be subject to immediate dismissal from the program.

If problems with the housing situation should arise, the student should bring the matter to the attention of the program staff or the housing coordinator in charge of housing for that particular program. If, in the judgment of the housing coordinator, a housing problem can best be resolved by moving the student, they will assign the student to different housing. Once this is arranged, the student is obligated to move.
