The Art Institute of Seattle offers housing services to all enrolled students. Living in school-sponsored housing is an excellent way to get acquainted with other Art Institute students, the Seattle community and to become involved in college life. The Housing and Residential Life Department employs full-time, professional Housing Coordinators and Resident Directors to assist students in their transition to their new environment.
The cost of student housing is in addition to tuition and fees. Students in school-sponsored housing must sign a separate contract for housing.
