Lodging

Sitka has many options to consider for housing, from co-occupancy rooms at the Sitka Fine Arts Camp to hostels, hotels and B and Bs. Many options are convenient to the University and downtown, and others are accessible via bicycle or the local bus system.

During your stay, you will have an opportunity to enjoy the greater Sitka community beyond the university campus. This small, yet vibrant, coastal town is well known for a rich Tlingit and Russian history, tremendous fishing, hiking, and whale watching. Sitka has its own public radio station (KCAW), fitness center, aquarium, circus arts studio, and state of the art Performing Arts Center. For a small town, Sitka has a lot to offer!

Lodges and B and Bs

A number of seasonal lodges and bed and breakfasts offer severely discounted rates for long-term stays.

Dorms

The Sitka Fine Arts Camp on the historic Sheldon Jackson College Campus has a number of double- and single-occupancy dorm rooms available for the semester. The dorm includes cooking facilities, a common area, access to laundry facilities, and is within walking distance of downtown, and the university.

Hotels

Local hotels also tend to offer discounts for extended stays during the off-season (mid-September through mid-May).
