Housing Information

Seacoast does not provide housing for our programs and yet since 1994 hundreds have chosen to join us and have found ways to meet their budget and family needs. We have welcomed course participants from most states and every continent except Antarctica. This provides our constituents with total control of meal and housing costs. One advantage to our four week sessions is to make time away from family and accompanying costs manageable. Our flexible seminar scheduling also allows participants the opportunity to accumulate additional summer hours to offset seminar requirements, a further step in cost-savings.

Our sites in New Hampshire and Florida offer the possibility of local motels, hotels, bed and breakfasts, and campgrounds in a considerable price range. Private accommodations, sublets, and short-term rentals are commonly located through such sites as Craigslist and rental companies. Prices in New Hampshire and Florida reflect the popularity of each area for summer recreation.

We maintain a list of commercial establishments recommended by our recent graduates and provide them upon request to applicants. We will also put in contact individuals who would like to find a room-mate or house-mate for a shared housing search. For security purposes, this last courtesy is available only after we have received sufficient application information to know the individuals involved.

It is common for course participants to book individual accommodations for the first summer of the program and to develop friendships that support sharing vacation rentals for the second.

As always, if you have any questions or ways in which we can be helpful, please contact Gary Davidson, Course Director, via the Program office email or telephone number (left). The Business Office address is only for account information. If you you have questions about specific locations, please let us know. We cannot be responsible for your housing but will make every effort to help you if we can.

Our New Hampshire site is located adjacent to Portsmouth, within minutes of the beaches, forty-five minutes to the mountains, and slightly more than an hour northeast of Boston. It is a reasonable daily commute to the greater Boston area, southern New Hampshire, and southeastern Maine. Many New England residents whose homes lie outside daily commuting range choose local motels for Monday-Thursday evenings and return home weekends. This is also true of our Florida location. Frequently motel and hotel rates will be slightly lower on those nights than during high season weekends.
