Email Inquires
On a regular basis the Student Services Office receives requests for roommates from students at various colleges and universities in the Metropolitan Washington Area. Most often this occurs beginning in May and continuing through August. The Student Services Office makes it a policy to forward these inquiries to current as well as incoming students to allow them the opportunity to contact the individuals on their own. Please contact Nancy Flynn if you do not want to receive these inquiries at nflynn@ipsciences.edu
Private Homes
Occasionally the Institute will receive a call from a private home owner where a room is being offered for occupancy at a monthly fee. Please contact Nancy Flynn at (703) 416-1441 or nflynn@ipsciences.edu for information and availability.
