LIVING AT
THE O'NEILL
Living at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center puts you in the center of theatrical history, just steps away from where the world first heard iconic shows like Fences and In the Heights. Your NTI ensemble will grow closer together as you spend time in community, and with laundry and dining on site, you’ll be able to devote more time to developing your skills as an artist.
HOUSING
NTI Semester Housing
As a NTI Semester student, you’ll be housed in a single or double room in one of six cozy dormitory cottages that are home to approximately a dozen students throughout each semester at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center. Within the room, each student is allotted a twin-xl size bed, a desk, two dressers, and a wardrobe. Each floor within the two-story cottage has single bathrooms and shower rooms. In addition, every cottage has a common living space which includes a full-size refrigerator, microwave, couches, and coffee table, where you can get to know your classmates, who will become your lifelong collaborators. These buildings are fully accessible.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Theatermakers Summer Intensive Housing
​As a Theatermakers student, you may be housed in the on-campus cottages shown above. Often, however, due to spatial needs for housing the large number of artists that take part in the summer season, our Theatermakers are housed on Mitchell College's Campus, just minutes away from the O’Neill and right off of the waterfront. Shuttle service is provided to bring you straight to campus for meals and classes. For additional information on Mitchell College facilities, please click HERE.

Rooming Assignments
Rooms at NTI are randomly assigned by our staff. However, we want you to be as comfortable as possible during your time with the National Theater Institute and do take into account your preferences when placing you in a room. Housing requests should be made prior to student arrival on campus via your pre-semester Student Forms. Accommodations, single occupancy rooms, desired roommate assignments, or extenuating circumstances relating to housing may be requested at that time. Please note that cottages on campus are all-gender, while roommates are gender specific.
​
​
LAUNDRY
Washing machines and dryers are available on campus in a building conveniently located near the housing cottages.
Laundry cards can be rented and then loaded with a reserve of funds to spend on the machines. Cards can be reloaded from the machine in the laundry building with cash, debit, or credit.
For summer students housed at Mitchell College, laundry rooms are also available in those facilities.
Students are responsible for supplying detergent and any additional laundry supplies desired. ​
​
DINING
During your program, you will be provided three meals a day, seven days per week prepared by our chefs. Meals are served in accordance with your class schedule.
We take dietary needs very seriously, and regularly prepare vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan dishes. You'll be able to share any dietary restrictions and/or allergies with our staff prior to the semester.
The cafeteria also offers continual access to snacks and beverages, essential for late-night work sessions.
