Since the opening of MICA's first residential housing facility in 1993, the College has continuously focused on strengthening the student life experience.

Over the past twenty-five years, MICA has recognized the importance of a robust student life program that complements the rigor and intensity of the student academic experience. We have broadened our housing program to over 1,000 beds and now offer a holistic residential experience.

We look forward to seeing you during your next visit to campus.
