  • On-Campus Housing Availability

    5/26/23 Update  THERE ARE ONLY TWO DOUBLE ROOMS LEFT, NO SINGLES

    On campus housing is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Single rooms are limited. 

    Room & board costs

    Due to the rising cost of food, Goddard College has needed to increase the costs of meals. Fortunately, there is also more flexibility than past years in the number of meals that on-campus attendees must purchase.

    Housing costs have remained the same, as has the required 9% Vermont Rooms and Meals tax. This tax is included in all amounts listed below.

    For CWC&R 2023:

    - All dorm accommodations must include a 7-meal plan (3 dinners, 3 lunches, 1 breakfast) = $171.

    - Off-campus attendees must purchase a 4-meal plan (for use at any meal) = $97.

    - Additional meals can be purchased from the help desk. 

    Also, at no extra charge:

    -  CWC will host one night’s dinner off campus.

    -  CWC will provide a light lunch on Monday (arrival) and Friday (departure).

  • About Single Rooms

    There are a limited number of single's available on a first-come, first-served basis.  If you would like a single, please be sure to check the Single Room and Board rate box in the costs area on the next page. 

    We will let you know within a week if a single is available and has been reserved.  If no singles are available, we'll let you know within a week, and adjust your fees to reflect your choice to stay on campus in a double, or off campus. 

    Note:  as of May 26, there are no more single rooms available.
