Sample apartment in Marie Robinson Hall
Accommodations
GAPE Scholars will have housing available on the southeast side of the University of Illinois Chicago campus. Located just west of the Chicago Loop, institute accommodations will be located near dozens of restaurants, taverns, and convenient shops in an area once occupied by the renowned Maxwell Street Market—an open air market that served as the gateway for immigrants in the early 1900s. Just steps away Jane Addams' Hull-House Museum and Haymarket Square, participants will be staying in an area of the city well-known for its Progressive Era history.
Scholars will be able to rent a room in Marie Robinson Hall or Thomas Beckham Hall. Both buildings offer apartment-style living arrangements. Most residents occupy 4-person apartments with individual bedrooms and a shared living room, kitchen, and bathrooms. However, there are also a number of 1- and 2-person apartments. Laundry facilities are included in the cost of housing. See the campus housing website for more information about amenities. There are many restaurants within walking distance of the residence halls, but the current dinner prices at the dining hall are $13.15 at the door. Linen rentals are $25 per person.
The costs for on-campus apartment housing are:
Scholars can also independently arrange for off-campus living.
Those participants who live locally and wish to commute to UIC each day are welcome to do so. On-campus parking is available for a fee.
All participants may get a temporary campus ID for $15. Guest internet access is available for $15. Past participants have found it useful to bring their own laptop, Chromebook, or tablet to access readings, take notes, create materials for the Applications to Teaching sessions, or engage in other institute activities.
