Summer Housing

Summer trainees will reside in the University of Rochester’s Valentine Tower, which is located at 300 Kendrick Road, Rochester, NY 14620. Valentine Tower is an 11 story high-rise apartment building located within walking distance of the Medical Center and the River Campus, several restaurants and stores.  A major grocery store is just a short bus ride away. The University provides shuttle bus service for students that need weekend transportation during the summer months in Rochester.

The apartments are two and three bedroom units that have a private kitchen and bath.  Each bedroom includes telephone, twin bed, dresser, desk, chair, lamp and window coverings.  Computer hook-up is available.

Roommate assignments are announced via email in early-May (2 students per apartment, no co-ed assignments).
