Summer Research Program Information
In an effort to support summer undergraduate research program directors and administrators, this page will be updated with information that can be useful when launching a program and getting prepared each year.

This document is a collection of important information that other program directors have indicated should be included. If there is an area that is not covered, please email UGResearch@purdue.edu and we will look into the area and include it to help others who may have the same question.
Summer 2024 Housing and Meal Plans
Summer intern housing is available for undergraduate researchers in Hawkins and Earhart Halls. These are singles with community bathrooms.
A new meal plan is available for adults staying on campus for 30+ days:
- $240 - 20 swipes/student
- $480 - 40 swipes/student
Summer program administrators can purchase these in increments as above. The amount of swipes/student will be consistent across your program.
To purchase this meal plan, talk with your summer coordinator at least 10 days before your program begins.
The current (traditional) plan is still available and/or individuals can still pay the everyday “walk-in” rate without a meal plan ($8.77-breakfast, $13.38-lunch, or $13.91-dinner).
Two dining courts (Earhart and Ford) will be available for the summer and are all-you-can-eat.
