Housing Policies
All Pratt students who choose to study abroad are responsible for securing their own housing- either on-campus or off-campus*. Many host institutions provide a multitude of resources for making housing arrangements, which can be found on the institution's website.
*Pratt Institute maintains formal housing agreements with Musashino Art University, Bauhaus University, and Lusófona University for students participating in Exchange programs. Under these agreements, students selected for an Exchange semester are required to live in on-campus housing as part of the Exchange program.All Pratt students participating in these Exchange programs will pay Pratt directly for their housing and will be billed for a single room in Willoughby Hall, which aligns with the single-room accommodations they will receive at their respective host universities.
If students have chosen to study abroad in the Fall and require Pratt housing upon their return, they must apply for Spring housing in October using the Pratt Housing Application.
Students studying abroad in the Spring may apply to reclaim their room for the following Fall Semester during the Housing Application Process in March.
Students who are studying abroad for the Fall semester must cancel their Housing Contract in writing and abide by Pratt's provided schedule.
Cancellation Penalty
Upon receipt of a completed application and an assignment made by the Office of Residential Life, the student is automatically charged for the cost of the room.
Cancellation requests received and approved by the Office of Residential Life, either in-person or electronically, are assessed based on the cancellation penalties and are applied to the student's account.
