Each housing location is located within two miles of the main Brookline campus. Each housing location is near or directly on the MBTA green line. If students need to use the studios for class related work, during late night hours (1AM - 5AM), they are able to use a Cab Voucher Plan. Students who reside at the Artists Village are also allowed to bring one car to campus and park for an annual fee of $150.00 - Students must register their vehicle with The New England Institute of Art's Housing Office prior to the beginning of the semester when they have their car on campus. There is no parking at the other housing locations.

Students often bring a bicycle to the College and find that they can easily bike between their housing location and the main campus. Bike racks are available at each housing location.

At times, a college shuttle may also be made available to take students between their housing location and the main academic campus.
