Housing
What type of housing is provided in RUOP?
Housing can include, but not limited to living with a community host, to clinic-provided shared apartments, to living with your preceptor, to an AirBNB. We ask students to be flexible and prepared for various types of housing arrangements.
Do I need to find my own housing?
If indicated on your application, RUOP and regional partners will work to provide housing for you during the RUOP experience, at no additional cost to you.
Can I bring a family member?
RUOP supports bringing family with you on rotation. Placement Coordinators will attempt to make arrangements for your family. However, it will depend on what housing the community has available to donate. Therefore we cannot guarantee housing for family members. Whether or not donated accommodations for accompanying family are secured, RUOP is unable to provide reimbursement for any costs related to family accommodations and/or travel.
Will I have internet in my housing?
We do our best to find housing with internet, but in some cases there will not be internet in your home. We ask students to be flexible and seek out creative solutions. We also expect students to let us know if their assignments will be delayed due to connectivity issues.
What if I have allergies or need other special housing accommodations?
RUOP will make every effort to accommodate students. Students will have the opportunity to describe any housing needs on their application.
Can I stay with friends or family during my RUOP?
Yes. Indicate on your application places you can stay during your RUOP.
Can I bring my pet cat or dog?
Pets are not allowed to accompany you on your RUOP.
Who is responsible for housing damages?
Students are responsible for any damages beyond the normal wear and tear to their housing arrangement. Students should leave their housing clean and similar to how they found it.
Who notifies me about my housing?
The placement coordinator in that region you are assigned will contact you with this information in advance of your rotation.
What if I don't like the housing option offered to me?
Students are welcome to decline viable housing offered by RUOP. However, alternative housing will be at the students own expense.
What should I do if I have an issue with my housing once I am onsite?
Contact your regional placement coordinator.
