Applicants should look to their specific program for Meridian's current calendar of academic and community events rather than assume a traditional undergraduate schedule of homecoming or campus festivals. Graduate-program events can have a different purpose: connecting a cohort, presenting scholarly work, or supporting professional development.
Ask which events recur, whether attendance is required, and whether remote students can take part. That distinction helps separate an optional community gathering from a degree requirement that brings travel or accommodation costs.
Students planning to attend Meridian in Petaluma should arrange housing and meals based on their own program schedule rather than assume a residential-campus package. The key planning question is how many days they must be on site, particularly if their program combines remote study with periodic in-person sessions.
Before signing a lease or booking repeated visits, confirm the dates and duration of required attendance. A commuter, a student relocating to Petaluma, and a student visiting for occasional sessions will face substantially different housing, dining, and transportation costs.
