Guest
Housing 2011 at Wright State University - Dayton, Ohio
We
welcome you to stay with us at Wright State University.
Our guest
housing program is designed to provide a clean, safe, and friendly
campus stay
for guests of the university and the companies within the metropolitan
area. The guest housing program rents out rooms on a one per person-per bed
structure. Many of our guests will
only be in the Dayton
area for the summer and want to avoid the difficulty of finding a
furnished apartment.
We have 2 bedroom or 4 bedroom furnished apartments
available. To help
reduce the cost of housing, we will assign roommates using the
preference
survey forms. As your host, we are always available to assist
you. Please
contact us if you have any questions at (937) 775-4239.
Housing Available
Our guest housing
season for 2011
will run from June 13 through August 20, 2011. All
guests must
complete their checkouts by Friday, 11 a.m. on August 20.
Before and after this window of time, the units are
under housing
contract to WSU students and are not available. 2012 is a transition year for Wright State.
WSU is changing over from quarters to semesters. The apartment turnover period has been greatly decreased. NO EXTENTIONS OR LATE CHECKOUTS ARE POSSIBLE.
Guest housing will be
held in
the Forest Lane Apartments and University Park Apartments.
Individual
guests will be charged the single occupancy rate if they do not want to
share
the apartment with another guest. If you desire the double rate and do
not have
a roommate, we will assign another guest (same gender) to share the
unit with
you. Rates are listed on the Guest Housing Pre-registration form and
are based
on occupancy and length of stay. All campus housing is considered to be
NON-SMOKING,
so guests will need to refrain from smoking within the units and within
15 feet
of all entrances to buildings.
