LIVING ARRANGEMENTS
 

Although housing is not available on the NIH campus, program staff will assist students in locating housing in the community. Several area colleges rent dormitory rooms to students during the summer months. Information on housing is sent to students upon their selection to the program.  Students are responsible for making their own travel and living arrangements.

For students participating in programs at the National Institute of Aging's Gerontology Research Center, housing in Baltimore may be available in the house staff apartments at the Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. This facility is located about 10 minutes from the Johns Hopkins Hospital, 15 minutes from downtown Baltimore and the hospital at the University of Maryland.

Transportation

The Metro (subway) stop (Medical Center) and bus stops located on the NIH campus permit easy access from nearby areas in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC. 

Parking for vehicles on the NIH main campus is limited.  Consequently, participants in NIH summer programs are authorized to park their vehicles only at satellite parking facilities that are located in Rockville and downtown Bethesda. Shuttle bus service is available from these facilities to buildings on the main campus.
