Where do students stay?
Summer Intensive students are housed in one of Xavier University’s newest residence halls directly on campus. The hall is staffed with a Dorm Supervisor and Resident Assistants who plan activities for students and are available to help in any way students may need. The hall is also located just half a block from Xavier University’s Police station for added peace of mind!

How far is housing from the Ballet Center?
Housing is five miles, or about a fifteen-minute drive, from the Cincinnati Ballet Center.

How are students transported?
Students are transported by private bus each day between the dorms and the Cincinnati Ballet Center. Buses are also provided for all weekend activities.

What are student rooms like?
Student dorm rooms are suite-style, meaning students will have a roommate and share a bathroom and common area with other Summer Intensive students. The spaces are fully furnished with each student having a twin-size bed, a desk, a chair, and a wardrobe for their personal needs. The common area boasts a couch, armchairs, end tables, and a dining table and chairs. Internet and cable hookups are available in each suite.

Which meals are included in the Resident Program?
The Resident Program includes three meals each weekday (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and two meals on Saturdays and Sundays (brunch and dinner). Breakfast, brunch and dinner feature cafeteria-style dining, giving students a lot of options! Each week, students pre-order packed lunches which they pick up each weekday morning to take with them to the Ballet Center. The dining hall is in the same building as the residence hall which makes meal time easy! Xavier’s dining staff is exceptional at supporting the specific needs of those students with allergies and dietary restrictions.

What do students do in the evenings and on weekends?
The Resident Leadership Team plans weekly group activities in the dorms to foster community within the building. In addition, each weekend day features a chaperoned, offsite activity which students are encouraged to sign up for! On days when students do not have an activity or decide not to participate, they can have downtime in the residence hall or enjoy on-campus amenities. There is also an optional Target trip halfway through each program session to allow students to stock up on essentials.

What amenities are available?
Xavier’s campus boasts basketball and volleyball courts, a student center, plentiful greenspace, a barbecue area, and restaurants to which students may walk. Students also have access to the Recreation Center at Xavier University for a discounted fee, which includes exercise equipment, a pool, and a multi-sport court. For students requiring minor medical attention, there’s also an on-campus health center.

Are there any additional costs?
The only items not covered by tuition and housing costs are weekend activities, recreation center memberships, apparel and merchandise, and any additional food your student may desire to purchase. Students are encouraged to bring a limited amount of spending money to use for souvenirs or snacks during weekend activities.
