6) Housing
OHSU does not coordinate visiting student housing. Visiting students are responsible for their own housing. Some useful suggestions include:
Portland State University
They sometimes have some overflow housing available. They can be reached at www.pdx.edu.
Craigslist
http://www.portland.craigslist.org/ can also be a valuable resource.
OHSU
OHSU also provides some housing information at the following site.

6) Parking and Transportation.
Parking Permit
A parking pass can be obtained at the information booth, the coast is $10. They take checks or cash, checks should be filled out before you get to the booth and made out to OHSU. The information booth is the yellow question mark on your map near the corner of SW US Veterans Hospital Road and SW Sam Jackson Parkway. They will ask which lot, the best lot is the “South Lot ” located on the corner of SW 6th Ave and SW Gaines. (see annotated map)
Parking Meter
On 6th Street just before it connects with SW Gaines Street there are long term 5 hour meters. The cost is $1 and hour and the machines take coins or debit/credit cards, no bills accepted. You will need to make sure you add time before the time runs out. Tickets are $24 for expired meters. (see annotated map)
