Housing and Dining
Campus
Participants are invited to stay in
the university's residence halls where they will
be housed together in a wing of Tamarak Hall.
Tamarak is the tallest building in
Beltrami County, with a beautiful
view of Lake Bemidji and the Bemidji area. Social and
study lounges are located on the twelfth floor and are
often the site of impromptu participant gatherings for
informal readings, workshops, and conversations that
carry on into the night.
Families, including children, are also
heartily welcome to stay at BSU. Participants may extend
their stay in the residence halls beyond the conference
dates. While here, family members are encouraged to
enjoy the abundant recreational opportunities offered
by BSU's Outdoor Program Center and the surrounding
Bemidji area.
The rate is $15.00 per night for a single.

family rates.
Smoking is not permitted in residence hall and
