finding housing for away rotation?

[XCdude]

I am doing an away rotation next year and would like to know how you typically set up housing. Is there some service the hospital has or is renting a room on craigslist the best way to go?

There is the rotatingroom.com website, but I found Craifslist sublets to be the best way to go. I did 4 away rotations and stayed at 4 different places I found on craigslist.

depends on the hospital. Some have housing for students, others do not.

You can also contact the affiliated medical school's campus life director and send out an ad to its med students who may have a spare bedroom to rent out.

When I did a rotation in Albuquerque the medical education dept there had a list of residents who rented rooms out for students rotating. It worked out well, was within walking distance to the hospital. Cost a few hundred for a 4 week stay.

i used craigslist with a lot of success
remember, it's only temporary. 2-4 weeks top.

Alot of students are using rotatingroom.com. It's alot easier to work out a deal and students build connections. Makes it easier to get a free place to stay during interview season.
