Also, during the year, check the box office and individual school offices for performances, shows and events held each week. For those of you staying in on-campus housing, remember that your housing contract is for one academic year. This contract cannot be canceled without penalty, unless the student has left CalArts and is no longer enrolled. Off campus housing can be difficult to obtain. You can check the Daily News and Los Angeles Times newspapers for further listings in the greater Los Angeles County area.
Buses are rather infrequent, however, and service is offered during limited hours of the day.
It is not a good idea to depend on this bus system for transportation to and from CalArts. In addition, the Metrolink train offers service to and from Burbank, Glendale and downtown Los Angeles Monday through Saturday. Again, hours of service are limited. If you chose the latter, you must present proof of being enrolled in another plan at the time of registration. If you elect to purchase the CalArts insurance plan, you may do so at registration.
