Residence Life and Housing
Live, Learn, Lead!
Residence Life and Housing invites you to immerse yourself in a living and learning environment that will not only empower you to grow and develop within a diverse community of artists, but also assist you in realizing your full potential and making lifelong friendships along the way! While living on campus, you will be exposed to residential programming, enjoy the convenience of living close to class, and develop values of respect and responsibility. Residence Life and Housing can assist you in taking advantage of all of the resources and services available at Otis College.
Fall 2021 - Spring 2022
We will be housing four students per apartment/suite, with two students in each bedroom for the 2021-22 academic year. Foundation students are primarily placed in the Residence Hall, while sophomore, junior, senior, and graduate students primarily reside in the affiliated apartments at Park West. Please visit our Fall Housing page to learn more about what to expect this upcoming year. Students looking to live off campus can find resources on our Off Campus Housing page.
