Summer Living Arrangements for Graduate Students

Gonzaga University and Spokane, Washington offer several options for housing and food services during the summer. Dussault and Burch Apartments, located on the Gonzaga campus, offer newer, spacious, and semi-private accommodations. Units are two-bedrooms in size, with each bedroom having its own separate lock, cable jack, computer network jack, phone extension, bed, dresser, and desk. The units also contain a furnished living room, a kitchen (pots, pans and microwave are not provided), a bathroom, and a balcony or patio. Summer students have their own bedroom and can request a preferred apartment-mate by name or by category such as another doctoral student. Units in Burch are air-conditioned. The Ministry Institute offers housing as well.  Just a few blocks from campus, you may reserve space as available during your stay.

Students living in these units generally do not enroll in University sponsored food plans. Instead, they cook or eat-out at any of the numerous nearby (15-minute walk or less) or downtown (20-25 minute walk) establishments.

Weather during the summer in Spokane is generally warm and dry. Gonzaga University and Spokane, Washington provide a wide range of cultural and recreational opportunities during the summer.

Summer students report that a private car is not necessary, but a bicycle would be useful.

Registered students can request a Post Office Box on campus by contacting Mail Services (509) 323-5694. They can also request their MSC number (student mail addresses at Gonzaga University do not use the word BOX in the address) prior to their arrival on-campus. There is a small fee and key deposit for the mail services.
