When you enroll in a cosmetology school, you’re ready to train for a creative career with an exciting future. Cosmetology education is the most important part of reaching your career goals. Still, most cosmetology schools work differently than traditional universities.

You will probably work less in classrooms and more in real salon environments. You may get a faster, more targeted approach to learning. And you may have to commute to school instead of living on campus.

Many cosmetology and beauty schools are designed to get you into a career in a short amount of time. This means that it may not make sense for them to offer lease agreements that correspond with their short program lengths.

What does this mean to you?

If you are heading to beauty school straight from high school or from a different city, finding a school that offers student housing assistance might add to your experience.

If your cosmetology school doesn’t offer school-owned student housing, don’t worry! If you need somewhere to live, your school can help you find it.

Almost all cosmetology schools have staff available to help you find a convenient, affordable place to live. Some schools can even help you find a roommate to share experiences and living costs.

Before you enroll, you can make an appointment with an advisor to discuss living arrangements. Most schools keep a list of recommended area apartments that will make your cosmetology school experience more enriching.

There are some cosmetology schools that offer traditional student housing, in the form of dorms or communal homes. These schools include La’James International College in Mason City, Iowa, and Model College of Hair Design in Saint Cloud, Minnesota.
