1.
Arrival / Temporary Quarters
Transient BOQ space is available for students arriving and detaching from NPS. The International Programs Office
will coordinate reservations with the BOQ
for the first 30 days of a new student's stay
at NPS provided there is space available.
BOQ charge is $25.00 per night (no kitchen) and $35 per night (with kitchen). Maximum capacity per room is 4 people. Suites which can accomodate 5-6 people are also available on a limited basis. Our Navy
Lodge is also available with room rates of
$73.00 per night. If BOQ or Navy Lodge is
unavailable, it is recommended that the student
(and his family) be prepared to stay in a
hotel for the first week or so while checking
out the housing situation (average cost $75-$145
per night per room depending on location and
season). Reservations can be made with RESORT
TO ME at (800) 757-5646 or (831) 646-9250.
This is an agency that will locate accommodations
to fit individual family needs; all that is
needed is to call, tell them how many people,
preferred area, and preferred price range.
(Best bet would be Monterey near NPS [also
will be more affordable]. Obviously if you
choose to stay (or live) in Pebble Beach or
Carmel , prices will be considerably higher).
Reservations need to be guaranteed with a
credit card.
