Our program is hosted on the Rockhurst University's campus in Kansas City, MO. Our central location gives visiting students an amazing opportunity to absorb and enjoy the rich culture of Kansas City. 

Lodging

Non-local students are highly encouraged to stay in Rockhurst University's Townhouse Village Units. These apartment-style living spaces are two-story apartments. These units are located on Rockhurst University's campus and include 24 hour surveillance by campus police. The Townhouse Village neighbors the student workshop.

Townhouse Village Unit Rates:

• Single/Private: $55.00 per night ($385 per week)
• Doubles/roommates: $32.50 per night ($227.50 per week)

Townhouse Village Unit resources available include:

• In-hall laundry facilities
• These facilities are completely bare bones and are outfitted similarly to college dorms. The kitchens DO NOT contain pans, utensils, or dish ware. Students planning to cook or prepare food in the Townhouse Units must provide these materials on their own.
• Students staying in the THV units must bring their own towels and toiletries.
• Individual beds - sheets, pillows, and blankets are not included.
• Students should bring their own twin xl sheets, pillows, blankets, and towels. Many students bring sleeping bags.
• Dressers

Meals:

Rockhurst University's cafeteria is occasionally open based on demand for the duration of the workshop. This is not included in housing, but is an affordable meal option during your stay. We do not have any control over when the cafeteria is open.
