Housing and Meals

New and continuing students are required to reside in campus dormitories during the residencies. This encourages cohesiveness and a sense of community, both of which are central to the learning experience. Mealtimes in the cafeteria, operated by the New England Culinary Institute, also provide opportunity for dialogue and communication between faculty, students, and visitors.
