    On-Campus Housing

    The room cost for residence hall rooms is still being finalized but is expected to be around $50/night (available Monday-Wednesday evenings). On campus housing is unavailable on Thursday evening due to the Juneteenth holiday. No linens are provided (but a twin XL sheet set is available through major retailers for around $10-$20). We will be providing hand soap for the bathrooms 😄

    Other Considerations

    It is not advised to use public transit (RTS) to get to Brockport. The closest airport and train station are in Rochester, NY (ROC). Rideshare fare to/from Brockport is approximately $50.
