Applying for Housing
Because demand is high and housing is limited, only students participating in MBL courses are guaranteed housing each summer. All other housing assignments are made on a space-available basis according to a user category established by the MBL.
Other than students participating in MBL courses (who automatically receive housing upon acceptance to a course), individuals wishing to reserve MBL housing must first complete an application. MBL housing is not available without a reservation nor is it available to the general public.
The deadline for receiving applications for summer housing is February 15. (Students accepted to MBL courses do not need to submit an application.) Submission of an application does not guarantee housing.
Applications received after February 15 will be reviewed in the order in which they are received. Only those registered and affiliated with the MBL's summer and resident research programs, MBL courses, and the Library will be considered for housing.
MBL Corporation Members may reserve MBL housing for one week annually as availability permits. Due to high demand from course and research activities, housing is generally not available to Corporation Members between June 15 and August 15.
Housing applications from individuals with overdue MBL accounts will not be considered until the bill is paid in full.
Questions about the housing application process can be directed to: Housing Coordinator, 508.289.7213 or housing@mbl.edu.
Assignment Process:
When an application is received by the Housing Office, an acknowledgment e-mail is sent to the applicant within three days of receipt. Please contact the Housing Office if you have not received an acknowledgment of your application within a week of submission.
Submission of the completed housing application is considered a commitment on the applicant's part to accept financial responsibility for the housing assigned. Summer Housing assignments will be made by May 15 (execpt course students). Student housing assignments will be made after a student has been accepted into an MBL course.
Available housing will be assigned according to the institution's established categories. We will verify the category included on your application with the appropriate MBL department. If, at any point, you withdraw from or cancel your work at the MBL, your housing will be cancelled as well.
The Housing Office will adhere to the established category list in making housing assignments.
The following factors will also be taken into consideration when making assignments:
- Missed deadline: Applications received after the Summer Housing deadline will not supercede applications received on time, regardless of individual's category status
- Number of people in applicant's party: Cottages and 2-bedroom apartments will be assigned to families with dependent children before they are assigned to a couple, regardless of category
- Need for lead-free housing
- Approval to bring a pet (cottages only)
- Disability: Housing for persons with mobility impairments is severely limited. Please indicate mobility impairment on your application.
Factors NOT considered when making housing assignments:
- Medical conditions. The staff in housing is not qualified to evaluate medical conditions, regardless of documentation from a physician.
- Housing, when available, is only provided for immediate family members and dependent children.
Due to the high demand on housing, the MBL is unable to provide housing for:
- Non-dependent children or extended family members of applicant
Confirmation of Housing Assignment:
Confirmations of housing assignments will be emailed or mailed once housing assignments are completed for applicants. For Summer Applicants, please be sure to list your best mailing address from mid-May to early June on your application.
Housing will be charged from the date of the reservation unless the Housing Office receives a written cancellation notice at least 15 days in advance of the reservation and an immediate reassignment can be made. Unclaimed housing units are subject to immediate reassignment. Housing assignments are not transferable, and subletting is not permitted. Changes in room assignments are permitted only with the prior consent of the Housing Office.
Dormitory rooms are only available with our board plan. See Dining for more information.
