Who is eligible for housing?
All participants coming from beyond a 50-mile radius who do not have a
local permanent address.
Summer Housing
ORISE will make housing arrangements for all eligible participants in a
local apartment complex. If you qualify for housing and it is not
available at the time of your appointment, you will receive a housing
allowance of $105 per week to help offset the cost of housing. To help
you locate housing feel free to review the “Guide to Short Term
Housing”.
All students placed in the local apartment complex will be assigned
roommates.
Roommates
Each participant will be assigned a roommate and will live in a one,
two, or three-bedroom furnished apartment. One bedroom apartments
accommodate two students, two bedroom apartments accommodate four
students and three bedroom apartments accommodate six students.
Roommates will be assigned based on your responses to the “Housing
Questionnaire.” Your roommate’s name and contact information will be
emailed to you once rooming assignments are made. We encourage you to
contact each other before moving to the Oak Ridge/Knoxville area.
What comes with your apartment?
Apartment units are air conditioned and carpeted. Furnishings include
drapes or blinds, furniture (twin beds, etc.) refrigerator, stove,
dishwasher, linens, small appliances, television, cooking utensils, and
dishes. Wal-Mart and Target are nearby, so if you forget anything, you
can always purchase it when you get here. Phone and cable hook-ups are
available but you will need to make arrangements with the telephone and
cable providers to install service. Laundry facilities are also
available. The complex even has an outdoor swimming pool and clubhouse
that you are welcome to use.
Semester Housing
For semester appointments, ORISE doe not generally arrange housing.
However, we will assist you in locating suitable housing. You can start
by reviewing the “Guide to Short Term Housing.” If you are eligible for
housing, you will receive a weekly housing allowance of $105.
