Live & Learn
If you're a full-time student who would like to combine the quality, affordability and other benefits of a Dutchess Community College education with the experience of living away at college ... good news! You'll be able to do so beginning in fall 2012, when DCC will offer on-campus student housing for the first time. DCC has earned a reputation for providing an outstanding education while charging the lowest tuition in the state – $2,900. This means that those interested in having an on-campus residential experience will be able to do so at a reasonable cost.
Housing Applications are now being accepted online from current students and new students who have begun the fall 2012 College Admissions process. Space in the new residence hall is limited and housing assignments will be made through a lottery system in April. In order to be considered for housing, apply now and be sure to follow all the deadlines and guidelines!
