SOAR Overnight Lodging Information
Need a place to stay the night during your SOAR session? During the June and select July sessions only, overnight lodging is available on campus. Although lodging on campus is not required, it will provide you with a small glimpse into on-campus living. You'll have the opportunity to stay in one of our residential halls and get to know other students! Plus, you'll be right in the heart of campus with easy access to breakfast options in the morning and your Day 2 sessions.
If you or your guest would like to stay overnight on campus, you will have the option to add overnight lodging to your SOAR reservation during the registration process (permitting availability).
Don't want to stay on campus? Students and parents/guests can also make their own local lodging arrangements if needed at a local hotel or with a friend. If staying at a hotel, make sure to ask if they offer a "Tech Discount."
How SOAR Lodging Works
SOAR Lodging is only available for all June and select July sessions. If you choose to stay overnight on campus, you will be assigned a room in New Hall North residence hall for the evening.
