RIT and University of Rochester guest limits

Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) permits a guest visit only with the agreement of all assigned residents. The limit is three consecutive nights and six nights per calendar month. Your host has to stay with you while you're in university housing; borrowing their keys or university ID is not allowed. If your plans require coming and going independently, staying in the student's room may not suit the visit.

A University of Rochester student has a four-night guest allowance per calendar month and needs their roommate's or suitemate's permission. Sleeping in public lounges is prohibited. Work out which nights your friend can host before making the hotel reservation.

University of Rochester move-in night cannot be part of that arrangement. Parents, guardians and friends are not allowed to sleep in the residence hall that night. If you're staying in Rochester to help someone move in, include your own room in the plan. Hotels with 18+ check-in also provide an option for nights beyond either university's guest limits.

Strong Memorial can help with family lodging

Before booking hotel nights for a hospital visit, you can call Strong Memorial Hospital's Hotel and Lodging Services at (585) 275-7581. The team helps out-of-town family members and friends explore accommodation options and make reservations.

A parent or guardian of a pediatric patient also has a bedside sleeping option. Strong Memorial provides a fold-out chair or couch in the child's hospital room for a parent or guardian to spend the night. That can replace a separate hotel room for the person staying with the child, but it is not a guest bedroom for the whole family. Siblings and other relatives should not assume this arrangement includes them.
