SOCAPA offers a housing option at all of our campuses and a full cafeteria meal plan in Vermont and Los Angeles. Students can stay right on campus in the host university’s residence halls which have lounges, computer rooms, and laundry facilities. In Vermont and Los Angeles, residential students eat most of their meals at the campus cafeteria. Once per session, we take the whole group off campus and out for dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. Our Room & Board Fee includes double or triple occupancy housing, night and weekend activities (including transportation, tickets and supervision) and three meals per day, Monday through Friday, except at our Manhattan campus (see below). On weekends, depending on the campus, students may be responsible for purchasing some or all of their meals. Please refer to the campus-specific information below.

Upon arrival we will greet you at the baggage claim area for your flight wearing a SOCAPA t-shirt and holding a sign with your name on it, then travel back to campus with you from the airport. At the end of your program, we will help you check-in at your airline's check-in counter; unfortunately we cannot escort you beyond security unless you are an unaccompanied minor as designated by the airline. Unaccompanied minors incur an additional charge of $75/transfer along with the standard rates outlined below.

At our NYC and LA campuses, students need to bring their own Twin XL sheets, pillowcase and towel. In Los Angeles, we provide a blanket and a pillow (sheets and pillowcase NOT included) at no charge. In NYC, you have the option to rent a pillow and blanket for $36/session. Complete Linen Sets (Sheets, Blanket, Pillow and Pillowcase) are provided at our Vermont Campus at no additional charge.
All accounts must have a credit card on file. Any incidental charges like lost room/meal key fees, equipment/property damage fees and/or extra cleaning fees will be charged to the card on file at the end of the program. If the charge is greater than $200, the billing contact will be contacted before the charge is made. If a student does not incur any additional fees, the card will not be charged.
