Housing
You will need to secure a place to live over the summer. It is often
advantageous to do this remotely, however, if you prefer to secure
housing after you arrive, the NRAO will reimburse you for up to 7 days
at the NRAO guesthouse. If you need more than 7 days to find housing,
you may be able to longer at the NRAO guesthouse (pending availability),
at the rate of around $20 per day.
Several students stayed in the New Mexico Tech student housing and seemed
to like it, particularly since they are furnished, come with complete
kitchens and are within easy walking distance of the AOC. We will
provide more information on whether the Tech studnent housing
will be available this year soon. In years past some students
have opted to rent houses together to
share resources and expense. The names and email addresses of all of
this years students will be posted in case you would like to
contact them. Housing in Socorro is generally cheap compared to
metropolitan areas, with two bedrooms typically around $500.
Also note that NRAO has a small
supply of used furniture etc. which can be borrowed for the summer on
first come first served basis. If you find a place remotely via one of
the Realtors listed below that you want to know more about, we can
arrange to go by and check out that it meets some minimum level of
acceptability.
