Guest Housing 2009
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 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 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.
