On-Campus Housing
Housing Options
The Residence Hall
The Residence Hall is primarily for first year students. The Residence Hall offers students the opportunity to live with peers and fully immerse themselves in a community of artists and designers. With multiple lounge spaces, students have the ability to engage with a diverse population and meet people they may otherwise never met. Living on campus is a great way to stay close to classes, and helps with the transition of being in college
Park West Apartments
The affiliated Park West Apartments are conveniently located across the street from campus. Sophomore, Junior, Senior, and Graduate students are able to live with other Otis College students in an apartment setting. Living at Park West allows students to gain more responsibility of living on their own (such as cooking), while we still manage the apartment details and assist with any issues.
