Housing (Oak Hill)

Housing for up to four students is available at a rented house in Oak Hill. The house has two bedrooms (each room could fit two comfortably), one bathroom, kitchen, and a large living room/study area. It is co-ed. The house is furnished, including a television, VCR, a microwave, a coffee pot, dishes, pots and pans, and a telephone. Basic utilities are provided. Long distance phone calls must be made using a calling card or by calling collect. Students should bring bed linens for a twin bed, toiletries, alarm clock, and money to do laundry. A $20.00 deposit is required. This is returned at the end of the rotation after inspection of the house and return of the house key.

We currently keep a spacious apartment in the community of Camden on Gauley. We also have housing in remodeled rooms at Richwood Area Community Hospital, Summersville Memorial Hospital and Webster County Memorial Hospital.

Additional housing can be arranged with community members, as needed, close to the student's rotation site.
