Housing

Visiting students are responsible for their own room and board. It is strongly recommended that you make housing arrangements prior to arriving in the Providence area. Housing can be expensive and difficult to find on a short-term basis.

Students may contact the Manager (VIMS), Hilary_Sweigart@Brown.edu for a housing referral list. The housing refferal list includes accommodations, close to the Brown Campus, rented out by Brown employees with average monthly rents of $500.

Alternatively, dormitory housing is available at Gerry House, Rhode Island Hospital, if you sign up for clinical electives at Rhode Island Hospital, Hasbro Hospital, Miriam Hospital, or Women & Infants' Hospital. Students should contact Jimmy Medeiros at Rhode Island Hospital to inquire about vacancies (JRMedeiros@lifespan.org). Gerry House accommodation is spartan and not recommended for a long stay.
