Female residential students will be housed in a dormitory setting at The Guest House on The Mount, a residential facility where Eaglearts will occupy an entire floor.

The residence is a short drive away from the campus. Bus transportation to and from the campus will be provided daily.
Male residential students will be assigned accommodation according to age groups and housed in several private residences that are owned by NCCI. The residences are located within a 5 to 10 minute walk to the NCCI campus. There are between 2 to 5 boys per room and two or three private bathrooms at each residence. Each residence has a common kitchen and living space. Counselors will accompany students on the short walk to the campus.
