The MBL can house several hundred persons in dormitory rooms. In the summer, an additional 75 furnished cottages and various furnished apartments are available. To accommodate short-term stays, fees are quoted on a weekly basis. The MBL guarantees housing only to course faculty and to students admitted to its courses.
Students occupy multiple occupancy dormitory rooms.
Not all MBL housing is lead-free. Applications for rooms, apartments, or cottages can be found on the MBL application page. Dormitory space is not usually available for the families of students. Housing applications from individuals with overdue MBL accounts will not be considered until those accounts are paid in full. Non-student housing assignments will be made by April 15 of the current year.
