Overnight accommodations

If you attend the Family Orientation program or wish to travel in the region during this visit, you will find several options available for accommodations. If you would like to be housed on campus, the Office of Conference Services (OCS) provides residence hall accommodations for campus visitors during the July sessions only. Towels, linens, and blankets are provided. Please note that housing on-campus is in our residence halls. If you would like on-campus housing during orientation, please call OCS at (518) 276-7459 or e-mail ocs@rpi.edu to make reservations.

OCS will be open for reservations starting on June 1 – please do not make a reservation until your student’s SO session has been confirmed by our office.

Update: OCS still has rooms available in the recently renovated Blitman Commons residence facility on campus. Call (518) 276-7459 to reserve a room!
