IDI students should look to the college's current calendar for design-related events rather than assume it holds the homecoming celebrations or other traditions common at larger universities. An event's availability may change from one term to the next.
Applicants hoping to attend exhibitions, presentations, or professional-association gatherings should ask which are scheduled during their intended term and whether participation is part of a course or voluntary. That distinction helps clarify both the time commitment and the opportunity to meet people beyond a student's own classes.
IDI does not provide college-owned or college-operated undergraduate housing. Students must arrange their own place to live and plan for meals independently rather than rely on a residence-hall assignment or campus meal plan.
For someone relocating to Orange County, housing should be part of the enrollment decision before accepting a place. The practical budget is not just rent: deposits, utilities, food, and transportation to campus can materially change the total cost of attendance. Students should also confirm their class timetable before signing a lease or committing to a commute.
