This page provides a number of different resources for Longy students. While Longy is a non-residential campus, our students are very involved in campus life, and the Student Services Office is always available to help!

Mental Health
What is Mental Health?
- Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. (Source: the Center for Disease Control (CDC))
Why should you care about mental health?
- Mental health is health; it’s just as important as physical health
- Bad mental health can increase risk for certain diseases and negative health outcomes
- It can negatively impact your performance in school and work
- It can negatively impact your relationships with family and friends
- It is very common – 1 in 5 US adults (or 40 million people) have a mental illness (Source: the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI))
How Can You Improve Your Mental Health?
- Exercise & move your body
- Eat a healthy, balanced diet
- Take breaks and time for yourself
- Get a good night’s sleep
- Open up to others about your hard time
CARE Team Reporting
Longy has put together a CARE team (Concern, Assessment, Response, Evaluation) to respond to and prevent dangerous situations within the Longy community.
Who is part of the CARE team?
Lucy Martindale, Assistant Director of Student Life
Rebecca Teeters, Assistant Dean of Curriculum Development and Innovation
Tyler Reece, Associate Dean of Enrollment and Student Life
Judith Bose, Dean of the Conservatory
Benjamin Nourse Gross, Assistant Director of Admissions and PDSO
What does the CARE team do?
Our CARE team ensures that everyone on campus is aware of the safety and well-being resources we have available and helps find a solution that works best for every individual.
When the CARE team receives a report, we consider many factors to help us understand if there is any immediate danger to the reported individual or the community. Regardless of the severity of the situation, the CARE team will always connect with associated parties to ensure they have appropriate resources to feel safe.
When should I report a situation?
The CARE team encourages the community to utilize a “see something, say something” mentality when reporting a situation. When in doubt, we recommend thinking about the following questions:
Is someone you know …
- behaving differently than you normally witness?
- experiencing a decline in work or academic performance?
- demonstrating disruptive or disturbing behavior?
- having problems at home, with classes or work?
- making disturbing comments in conversation, email, letters, social media postings or papers?
- sad, anxious or experiencing dramatic mood shifts?
- abusing alcohol or drugs?
- isolating themselves socially?
- frequently angry or easily frustrated?
If any of this reminds you of a situation you are aware of, we encourage you to let us know at [email protected].
Therapy Resources
Please note: If you think you may be suffering from a serious mental affliction, please see your Primary Care Physician right away. If you feel that you or someone you know is in emergency crisis – call 911 immediately.
If you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or need to talk to someone about mental or emotional distress, consider sessions with a therapist or counselor. There are several local professionals listed below that are covered by Longy’s student health plan.

Opiate Drug Abuse
College aged students continue to be at risk for prescription and recreational drug abuse at alarming rates.
- Results from the 2014 National Survey on Drug Use and Health show that non-prescription opiate use among those ages 18-25 rose to 11.8% and we can estimate that this number has increased, following the national trend in more recent years.
- Opiate deaths are on the rise. In 2015 there were more than 52,000 opiate-related deaths in 2015. That is more than the total of deaths from car crashes (37,757) and death by gun (36,252).
Next to prevention, the best method in reducing student opiate deaths is knowing how to reverse an actual overdose once it has happened. Naloxone is a life-saving antidote that can save the life of someone overdosing on opiates.
Naloxone has been recommended by U.S. Surgeon General and can help save a life.
- This non-addictive, non-lethal medication can be administered by anyone and has the capacity to reverse an overdose within seconds.
- This drug has proven itself time and time again, even reversing 10,000 overdoses between 1996-2010.

At Longy School of Music, we’re always here to help in any way we can. We understand the challenges of life can sometimes lead to dire situation requiring immediate access to funds otherwise unattainable.

Food Pantry

Located in the basement lobby of the Rey-Waldstein building, this food pantry is free for students to use, 7 days a week. Funded by an anonymous donor, we do our best to keep the shelves full week after week.
While the anonymous donor’s funds are incredibly helpful and appreciated, the inventory in the Food Pantry tends to deplete quite rapidly. In the spirit of community and supporting each other, if you are not experiencing food insecurity, please leave the food items for those in need.

Housing
Longy Roommate Board
We have a private Facebook group called the Longy Roommate Board that connects Longy students who want to live together. You can use this service to request a roommate or to contact students who have already posted requests. Join the group to start connecting with potential roommates
Partnership with East Coast Realty
Longy has partnered with East Coast Realty to provide a resource page for incoming students. Here you can search for an apartment, connect with a trusted realtor, and find a step-by-step guide to securing housing.
Reach out to Zishi Liu to begin the conversation!
While East Coast Realty and Longy School of Music of Bard College have partnered to provide this resource for prospective students, we have no formal financial or legal arrangement. You are not obligated to secure housing through this arrangement and should explore all available resources before signing a lease. Longy does not receive remuneration for housing arrangements secured through this partnership.
Utilities
Often your apartment will only be set up for one provider of each type of utility, so be sure to check with your landlord as to which utility company you should use before contacting a company. Also, companies usually offer discounts for combined phone, cable, and internet services.
Electricity or Gas
NStar, 800-592-2000
National Grid, 800-322-3223
Cable/Internet
Comcast, 800-COMCAST
RCN, 800-RING-RCN
Verizon, 800-870-9999
Heating
Costs can be included in your monthly rent or can be charged to your apartment every quarter. Heating costs during the winter months are naturally much higher than in other seasons, and are often separate from electricity charges. Be sure to ask what the average cost for heating is per quarter/month if applicable.
Renter’s Insurance
Most landlords require you to invest in an insurance policy that provides coverage for your personal property from loss due to theft, fire, or flooding. These policies are relatively inexpensive, especially considering how useful they can be in the event of a major misfortune. They also generally include protection from personal liability if a visitor is injured while in your apartment. It would also be a good idea to look into a policy that provides coverage for your instrument(s). Policies can be obtained through a private insurer or through the Massachusetts Property Insurance Underwriters Association (MPIUA), also known as FAIR Plan.

Housing Rights & Responsibilities
Information on tenant rights, laws, and protection within the state of Massachusetts can be accessed here.
As a student, you need to consider the following when deciding to rent an apartment or room:
- Distance of the apartment from Longy
- Accessibility to public transportation
- Rent and other costs, such as security deposits and/or realtor fees
- Cost of utilities and whether heating is electric or gas (electric heat is far more expensive)
- Conditions of the lease that the landlord will require. These include time of payment, proper use of the apartment, maintenance and repair, subletting, and ending the lease
- Cost of furnishing the apartment in the way you prefer to live
The Lease
Although it is possible to find apartments which are rented on a month-to-month basis, the vast majority of renters sign leases. The lease is a legal agreement between the tenant and the landlord that the tenant will stay in the apartment for a certain amount of time and pay the landlord a certain amount of money per month. It is meant to protect you as the renter as much as it is to protect the landlord, so make sure that everything that is agreed upon is in writing and that the landlord gives you a copy of the lease for your records. Also, be sure to read the lease thoroughly before signing it. If you would like to make any changes, discuss them with the landlord before you sign your name. The most common lease term is one year (12 months), not the 9-month academic year. If you rent an apartment in September and do not expect to stay in the apartment during the following summer, it is common for students to find people to sublet the apartment temporarily. Please keep in mind that when subletting your apartment to someone, you are responsible if that person does not pay the rent.
Follow these lease guidelines:
Read everything carefully.
- Be sure the form is complete before signing.
- If you have made special lease agreements with the landlord, make sure they have been added and are signed by both you and the landlord.
- Find out how the lease can be renewed when the term is finished.
- Keep a copy of the lease signed by you and the landlord.
Your lease should include:
- Beginning and ending dates of the contract
- Amount of the rent
- Security deposit cost and what it covers
- Furniture and appliances included with the apartment or house
- Procedures for subletting
- Party responsible for yard and shoveling of snow, trash removal, etc.
- Whether utilities are included in the rent
- Whether there is a parking space included
Common Lease Requirements:
- Amount of Rent – When you sign a lease you promise to pay the entire amount, not just the monthly amount. This means that if you leave the apartment before your lease expires, the landlord may require you, by law, to pay the rest of the rent due.
- Amount of Security Deposit – The landlord is required to pay you interest on this amount. You should ask the landlord what the interest rate is equal to.
- Rent Due Date – Rent is usually due on the first day of each month. If the rent is not paid on time, there is usually an extra charge you must pay.
- Length of Lease – Most leases are for one year. You may be able to sign shorter leases at some apartments, although the rent may be higher.
- Maintenance Requirements – You are expected to keep the apartment clean and free of excess garbage. If you break anything in the apartment, you are expected to pay to have it repaired. Normal wear is expected. However, grease on kitchen walls, for example, is not considered normal wear and a landlord may deduct from your security deposit to have the walls painted.
- Breaking the contract – If you leave the apartment before the end of the lease, you may still be required to pay the remaining months’ rent if you cannot find another renter.
- Subletting – With many apartments, you will not be allowed to rent the apartment to another person without the owner’s written permission. Be sure that you understand this if you think you may want to leave before your lease ends.
Please note:
Rents usually do not include utilities. It is common for landlords to require you to pay the first month’s rent, the last month’s rent, and a security deposit, which is usually the equivalent of one month’s rent. Make sure you get a receipt for every payment made to the landlord. If there is no damage to the apartment while you are living there, the security deposit will be refunded to you when you move out. As a result, the initial costs of moving into an apartment are high but become more affordable after the initial deposit.
Beware of predatory landlords! See this resource for more information.
