Graduate Housing
Students in our graduate programs (MFA, MAT, and SALT) are not required to reside in campus housing, but interested students can find housing costs below.
Graduate student housing does not include a meal plan, although plans may be purchased separately by filling out the Student Meal Plan Contract.
MFA students who live in campus housing through the year and sign an annual contract will be charged for their academic year assignment and summer intensive assignment. For first year MFA students on an annual housing contract, the housing assignment for summer intensive includes additional weeks after the duration of the intensive. For second year MFA students on an annual housing contract, the housing assignment for summer intensive includes additional weeks before and after the duration of the intensive. These additional weeks may need to be charged separately due to federal aid regulations.
Please contact the student accounts office at billing@meca.edu with any question regarding housing charges.
