Sumer housing near U of Cincinnati

<p>Is there anyone out there familiar with the area surrounding the University of Cincinnati? My daughter has been offered a research fellowship this summer and she wants to start at the end of May when her semester ends, but the dorms there aren’t available until June 16. She needs to find alternative housing - we live in NJ and are completely unfamiliar with the area. Her research will be at the Children’s Hospital. We would consider an extended stay hotel but aren’t really sure which one would be closest (and safest) for her. She will not have a car there. Thanks in advance for any help!</p>

<p>This might be a starting point. <a href=“http://www.uc.edu/gradfamilyhousing/listings.html[/url]”>http://www.uc.edu/gradfamilyhousing/listings.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I am not very familar with the UC campus but I think that it is in Clifton. I found a couple of ads in the newspaper looking to rent out a room. <a href=“University of Cincinnati classifieds and Cincinnati ads”>University of Cincinnati classifieds and Cincinnati ads; They both look to start in March so maybe they would accept someone on a short term assignment. I looked at the website I gave you in the post above and it looks like there is a hotel near the Hospital (which I know is on campus)<a href=“http://www.uc.edu/gradfamilyhousing/hotels.html[/url]”>http://www.uc.edu/gradfamilyhousing/hotels.html&lt;/a&gt; that rents rooms for $42.50/night. Also the Marriott Kingsgate which is also on the UC campus turns up on Priceline for around $40-45/night. Maybe that could be an option if she could bid enough nights. <a href=“http://www.biddingfortravel.com%5B/url%5D”>www.biddingfortravel.com</a> has information on how to bid on properties. The Marriott is very, very, nice and located on campus.</p>

<p>I hope someone from Cincinnati sees this and can give you better advice.</p>

<p>Just make sure it has AC. Cincy is HOT and muggy in the summer.
I’d probably look north around Blue Ash. Cinci itself is dicey.</p>

<p>My best friend from HS graduated from UC this winter. I posed your question to her, and she says “Let’s see. If you live on Clifton Ave. you’re safe. If it says Gaslight, that’s safe (although kind of a huge uphill hike if she’ll be walking).”</p>

<p>She promises to get on Craigslist tonight and find some listings that look good, so I’ll report back when she does!</p>

<p>Blue Ash is not near Children’s Hospital at all. May I suggest she look into a long-term stay arrangement at the Vernon Manor Hotel? It’s fairly near the hospital. It can be found at <a href=“http://www.vernon-manor.com%5B/url%5D”>www.vernon-manor.com</a></p>
