Housing & travel

HOUSING

Dell’Arte does not have a campus with student housing. Upon request, the School Administrator can also connect you to a list of local landlords and housing resources to help you find housing for the duration of your training. We also recommend searching on Airbnb or similar sites for housing.  

Students will have the option to join a private Facebook group where they can connect with other students regarding  the sharing and coordination of housing and transportation. Please note your housing interest on your admissions survey to let us know how to best support you.

For our 2026 Summer Intensives, we are partnering with Cal Poly Humboldt in Arcata to offer a limited number of  additional housing possibilities nearby. These bookings are facilitated by the School Administrator. A small booking fee and a refundable security deposit  will apply if you select this option.
