<p>It is possible for visitors to Oxford to stay in college on a very reasonable B&B basis when the university is not in session: [Oxford</a> bed and breakfast accommodation in the University Colleges](<a href=“bookings for everyone”>http://www.oxfordrooms.co.uk/) Other UK universities run similar schemes - eg University of Edinburgh makes rooms available which can be a lifesaver during the Festival when hotels are booked a year in advance. Is there any comparable arrangement on US campuses? Specifically, I’m looking for rooms in LA and SF for a group of UK students who are finding even the hostel rates expensive for their budget. Thank you for any suggestions!</p>
<p>If you are visiting when a camp is not full of campers, many church camps rent out lodges with dorm like rooms to groups. Here is an example. See, four nights for $124.

<p>Or how about a week at I-house at Berkeley? This sounds close to what you are looking for. <a href=“http://ihouse.berkeley.edu/l/summer.html[/url]”>http://ihouse.berkeley.edu/l/summer.html</a> You have to contact them for rates, though.</p>
<p>Thank you very much, MidwestMom! Will follow up on those suggestions right now.</p>
