Housing

AAC’s campus is a cultural cornerstone in the Over-the-Rhine community and a home-base for creative pursuits in this historic neighborhood. Forget dorm life – AAC housing is urban loft living.

All first-year students who reside outside the Cincinnati area are required to live in the Art Academy’s Residence Halls. Freshmen living within Greater Cincinnati may choose to reside in the residence hall or commute from home. Priority placement in the residence hall is given to traditional first-time freshmen and then to all other students at the Art Academy, in each case in the order in which residence hall deposits are received.

Each unit is equipped with:

Full bath and kitchen (with refrigerator, stove, sink)
Bed, working table or desk and chair, closet
Access to laundry in building (pay via app)
Utilities included- Wifi, electricity, water

2025-2026 Housing Fees for Incoming Students

In addition to the housing fee, there is a $600 damage deposit charged to the student, refundable at the end of the year if no damage is assessed to the student. All tuition and fees must be paid in full prior to August 25, 2025 and January 20, 2026.
