Off-Campus Housing

The following two hotels are located in Troy, within 1 km of the RPI campus. Walking to campus from both sites is quite possible; however, the campus is located on a steep hill and a considerable climb (on paved sidewalks) is involved in reaching the campus. A limited shuttle service will be provided on request (contact ISPO@rpi.edu by May 15) for those who are staying in these two hotels. (See http://www.trytroy.org/maps.html for Troy City map)
