Housing and Transportation
During their stay in Boulder, students typically rent rooms from community members at a cost of $400 - $600 per month. A local, private referral list is available to students upon enrollment. This housing referral list includes pertinent contact information, along with details on location and distance from The Rolf Institute.
Many of the living situations are within walking distance or a short bike ride or a short drive to The Rolf Institute. The bus system throughout Boulder and Denver is quiet convenient. A local bus route (#205) drops students off just a block away from the school. Click here for RTD (Regional Transportation District) website.
Payment Policies
Once you have been accepted into the program, you must reserve your space by sending your signed enrollment agreement and deposit to The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration.

Half of the tuition for all classes is due two weeks before the class begins. The remaining balance is due halfway through the class.

Late enrollment is occasionally permitted, depending upon space availability.
