On-campus housing will be available in the Knollcrest East Apartments on campus. Each unit is an air-conditioned two-bedroom student apartment and can sleep up to four people. The cost of housing per apartment (not including food) is $145 per week, or a total of $435 for the three-week institute. Those who prefer not to cook can buy hot or cold meals at lunchtime on campus.

Participants who come on their own can expect to share the apartment with a colleague of the same gender: these participants would each have their own bedroom, but share the kitchen and bathroom. Those coming with families can expect to have an apartment to themselves. The apartments contain basic furnishings: beds, chairs, desks and major kitchen appliances (fridge and stove). The kitchens do not contain coffee pots, microwaves, toasters or hot-pots. In addition, participants will need to bring linens, towels, and silverware and basic kitchen utensils. Participants can arrange to rent (at their own instigation and expense from Grand Rapids rental companies) televisions, VCRs, etc. while in Grand Rapids . Our best advice is to bring whatever you need from home to make yourself comfortable. Each apartment building does have a common room with a television. A small computer lab with networked campus computers is also housed in one of the apartment buildings. Each apartment has Ethernet hookups for those bringing their personal laptops. Each building also has free laundry facilities in the basement. The apartments have their own phones which can be used to make free local calls. Outgoing long-distance phone calls need to be placed using a phone card or a credit card. Mail is delivered daily to Theta-Epsilon, the central apartment building in Knollcrest East. Each participant will have a key to his or her own mailbox. Finally, you should note that alcohol may not be brought into campus housing and that all apartments are non-smoking, although there are areas outside reserved for smokers. There is free parking on campus next to the apartments, so participants are welcome to bring their own cars. Participants are of course free to make other off-campus arrangements for housing on their own.
