Relay's academic calendar and cohort activities are more relevant to prospective students than the homecoming or sports traditions associated with a residential college. Events may differ by program and location.
Orientation, educator-development sessions, and graduation activities are examples of occasions students can ask about when evaluating their program. Applicants should check the current local calendar rather than assume that an event held in one city, or in a previous year, is an institution-wide annual tradition.
Relay should not be approached as a residential college with an assumed dormitory placement or meal plan. Students generally need to arrange housing and meals around the location and schedule of their own program and, where applicable, their teaching job.
In New York City, the distance between home, classes, and a placement school can materially affect both expense and daily workload. Before committing to a lease or commute, applicants should confirm the required in-person schedule and whether the teaching location may change. Food and housing estimates belong in a personal cost-of-attendance budget even when they are not billed by Relay.
