Washer and dryer facilities are available at the washhouse at no charge. Housing is available in the cabins on a first come first serve basis. The student cabins contain electricity, beds, and tables. Researcher cabins have their own kitchens and bathrooms. You will need to provide your own bedding, pillows, and towels.
Some students find it preferable to use a light weight sleeping bag rather than sheets and blankets.
Weather and climate are typical of the Midwest. Winter temperatures are usually in the 40s during the day but below zero nights are not uncommon. Bring at least a couple pairs of shoes that you can get wet. Meals are not provided, but student residents usually form a cooperative and prepare their own meals in the Station kitchen. Camping sites are available adjacent to the Station for those who wish to bring tents or trailers.
