HOUSING:

LBPU housing will be in dormitory style rooms and various villas. Each room has multiple sets of bunk beds. The College will provide sheets, blankets, pillows, and towels. It may be cool in your room, so you may wish to bring extra blanket(s). Showers and restrooms are located on each floor.

 These accommodations are all on a first come, first served basis: Lakefront housing is available. Married couples may share a room for an additional $64 per person. The Lodge, motel-style rooms are available for an additional $85 per person—all double or triple occupancy. If you wish to room with one or more people of the same sex as yourself, please forward all reservations with fees together. No other method will be accepted.

Any room that is assessed a fumigation fee for smoking or other obnoxious odors will have the fumigation costs from the College passed on to the occupants of that room.
