Below are a few options for accommodations during your stay. Please make your reservations early!
North Apartments ($470.00/person - Check in: June 20, Check out: June 27 )
Limited Availability Late Departure Night ($65/person) Check out: Sunday, June 28
The air-conditioned North Apartments, located in the North Residential Area of the UMass Amherst campus, are made up of four five-story buildings (North A, B, C, and D). Each apartment has four single-occupancy bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a shared living room/kitchen. Each lockable bedroom is furnished with a twin bed, desk, chair, and wardrobe. Guests will be provided with a linen pack containing two flat sheets, a pillow and case, two towels, and a thin blanket. The kitchen has a full-sized refrigerator, microwave, and stove-top oven but does not come with cookware or silverware. The shared living room/kitchen area has a sofa, two chairs, end table, coffee table, and two kitchen island chairs, but there are no televisions in any of the apartments (but note televisions may be located in a nearby lounge in the building). Toiletries are not included so guests should bring their own shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and toothpaste. Guests will be housed in a shared apartment with other FORAMS attendees. Specific suitemate requests can be provided during the online reservation process. Reservations can be completed online. You will need to check out with the front desk staff and return your access card and room key. If you fail to return your room key and/or access card, the credit card on file when you register will automatically get charged $100.00 for a lost or damaged room key and $25.00 for a lost or damaged access card. Credit will not be given for any keys or access cards returned after the departure date.
