HOUSING

Housing is provided on the campus of Saint Louis University in the University’s Village Apartments. These are full apartments, not dormitories. Each apartment contains a kitchen, and washer and dryer. Participants will share the apartments with at least one other singer. Individual apartments are not available. Each singer has their own bedroom and bathrooms are shared. There is a common living space. The Village Apartments are conveniently located to Xavier Hall, where the master classes take place. The two venues are about a 3 minute walk from each other.

Students are welcome to find their own housing, but keep in mind you will need to be able to commute to/from daily classes and evening performances. While paid parking on campus is available, it is about a 10 minutes walk to/from daily classes.

Village Apartment Cost for 8 nights is $625
