Visit Guest Registration for access.

Short-Term Housing Options

  • RotatingRoom.com is a student-run website that helps medical students find and post sublets while doing away rotations at hospitals around the country.

Homestay Options

A homestay is a stay at a residence by a traveler (usually a visiting foreign student) who is hosted by a local family for one to six months. The student usually has his/her own bedroom, private or shared bathroom, and access to a kitchen. Homestays are often less expensive than other housing options, but they are often less private.
