Apartment Rules

Student housing is available for out of town students. We rent fully furnished two bedroom apartments. The apartments include full kitchens with dishes, beds including pillows and linen, dining room, living room, wireless internet, and cable tv. The bathroom has a separate dressing area, allowing for more room.

If you need housing, there will be a $250.00 Security Deposit when you mail in your Enrollment Agreement to confirm the class. If the class or apartments are full, you will be notified.

*$250.00 refundable security deposit required one month before classes. The deposit will be refunded to you if you leave the apartment in move-in clean condition.*

The Travel Academy will do all we can to meet your accommodation requests but cannot guarantee the number of students in each apartment at any time, however if you prepay your rent you will not pay more than $100/week. All roommates will be of the same sex if requested. Our students have found that having a roommate has been enjoyable and helpful.

Apartments include all utilities. You are responsible for food, laundry, and cleaning supplies. Laundry is approximately $1.75 to was and $1.75 to dry.

The housing manager will contact you approximately two weeks before your scheduled class begins to schedule your arrival time. If you arrive outside your scheduled arrival time, you are responsible for finding transportation and housing accomodations until new arrangements with the housing manager has been made.

If you are driving, you will be required to have a parking pass in order to park at the student housing complex. A staff member will meet you at the apartments (during your scheduled time only) to assist with move-ins.

If you are flying in, a staff member will meet you at the airport outside of baggage claim (during your scheduled time only) to assist with housing move-ins.
