Housing
The historic campus of Gallaudet University, the world’s only university dedicated to deaf and hard-of-hearing students, will be our home for the duration of the Institute. You may download a map of the campus here, or view an interactive online map here.
Campus housing will be available to participants at the reasonable rate of $50 per person, per night (plus a one-time linen fee charge of $15). Our group has been assigned to Carlin Hall. All dorm rooms are single occupancy, furnished, suite style, with a shared bathroom and kitchen. The room diagram of a typical room in Carlin Hall can be viewed here.
Gallaudet University is fully committed to accessibility and will accommodate visitors with disabilities (wheelchair, blind, deaf-blind, service animals, etc).
Campus housing includes complimentary access to the fitness complex.
The Kellogg Conference Hotel, located on the Gallaudet campus, is another (but much more expensive) option.
Participants may also, of course, opt to seek individual or shared housing off campus. In addition to Craigslist and Airbnb, here is a list of resources you may use to find a short-term home near Gallaudet (20002 zip code) for the summer:
