From residence life to a culture of learning, take a look at this network of services intended to help handle the details so you can focus on your education.

Student Housing

The Art Institute of Philadelphia provides accommodations to approximately 30% of its student population. Additionally, many other students live in the vicinity of the college in privately owned apartments.

The Department of Residence Life is committed to providing students with comfortable, affordable and convenient housing options.

Some of the benefits of school-sponsored housing include:

  • Costs can be included in the student financial plan
  • Opportunities to meet other students in a residential community
  • Convenient location to academic buildings
  • Staff supervised environment
  • Social and educational services and programs
  • Community of Artists

Management
Professional and student staff (Director, Assistant Directors, Residence Life Coordinators, Resident Assistants, Maintenance and Facilities Staff, Security Officers) are available in our facilities to assist students who have questions or experience problems.

In addition, the staff plans a variety of activities and events for students throughout the year.

The Department of Residence Life should be contacted with administrative, financial, or management questions, or if there is an emergency.
