On campus housing is at the University of Rochester's River Campus as well as across the river and at dorms just south of campus.

In summer 2023 the dorm has not yet been assigned by residential life - check back in late spring ! Housing logistics will be handled by the Kearns Center at the University.  More details to come.

The UR Residential Life Summer website has the Required  APPLY FOR SPECIAL PROGRAMS SUMMER HOUSING form to fill out (last link to the online form on the UR summer housing page for ALL non-UR students with the Physics REU program. The form must be completed in advance of arrival to be allowed to check-in.  

Charges are by the week starting on Sunday with departure on Saturdays. We know some have different arrive/depart dates; please confirm any different dates.  The Kearns Center have to send an estimated list of rooms and number of weeks needed by mid April and specifics about each person with arrival/depart date and other details in late April/early May.

It would be very helpful if those that are driving to Rochester bring with them cooking/eating supplies and anything else that is not easily transported by those that arrive by plane!  Sometimes students ship themselves a small box or two in advance. Please do not make the boxes too heavy.  We have a few sets of sets of sheets, some blankets, a few towels and some other basics.  There is also a Dollar Tree store near campus.

You canhave your packages sent to the Physics Department Office.  We will give the person at the reception desk at the Department the list of REU participants so she knows who to contact when a package arrives. Be sure to 'track' your package if possible.
