Summer - Housing/Meals

Living on the Biological Station grounds is required to allow full-time interaction between students, instructors and the world-class research program here.

Housing

There are a total of 40 cabins; 30 are double occupancy (12' x 14') and 9 are larger and accommodate four people (12' x 24'). The larger cabins are reserved for faculty. All cabins are heated and furnished with lights, electricity, two twin-size beds, chairs, desks, and closets. Rest room and shower facilities are located near the cabins. Housing is assigned on a first to apply basis for qualified applicants. Roommates are assigned by gender and consideration of shared preferences. (e.g., nonsmoker, etc.)

Note: All housing assignments are final.

Meals

Meals are included in your lodging fees. All students will be served hot meals for breakfast and dinner. Lunches are packed by each student during breakfast and consist of a variety of options each day. Dinner will be provided for incoming students attending the summer program orientation meeting each Sunday before new clases start - Sun, Jun 15, 2025; Sun, Jun 29, 2025; Sun, Jul 13, 2025; Sun, Jul 27, 2025;

Saturday and Sunday meals are available to those students continuing to attend courses the following week. Meals for that weekend's breakfast, lunch and dinner are sacked for each student with attention to dietary preferences.

Menus for field trips and overnight excursions are planned for the entire group and are selected by the course instructor and kitchen staff to help complement the overnight camping experience.

Dietary preferences are taken into account for all preplanned meals and menus. Note that while we can make accommodations for most reasonable requests, we cannot accommodate all requests due to facility and resource limitations.
