Where to stay: Housing Information

For Students 18 years or over


College students have the option of having their housing arranged by STAND. College students who indicate on their registration form that would like to receive housing will be paired with a Swarthmore College student who has agreed to host STAND retreat attendees for the weekend. Once assigned a student host, you are responsible for coordinating with that person on your arrival and departure times. If you decide to forgo this option, please take a look at Swarthmore’s list of suggested hotels, or contact a friend in the area!

For Students under 18


STAND is currently unable to provide students under 18 with housing accommodations for the weekend.
