Visiting Scholar Housing

If you are a new faculty or staff member relocating to Rhode Island or a University guest, the Auxiliary Housing office can provide you with short-term housing conveniently located on or near campus. This section of the web site has further details and reservation information regarding short-term housing. The director of Auxiliary Housing is also available to assist incoming faculty and staff by identifying resources available to them through the University.

There are a limited number of completely furnished apartments located on or near campus which are available to incoming faculty, staff, and visiting scholars who are here for an extended period of time. These apartments range in size from efficiency to two-bedroom units. Monthly rental rates, which include the cost of utilities, local telephone service, and basic cable television range from $975 to $1,400 per month. Weekly or daily rates may be available.
