UT students should submit the online form to request student housing as soon as they schedule rotations. Two (2) UT students of the same gender are assigned to each apartment, unless two are married to one another while rotating in Chattanooga at the same time.
We offer housing for UTHSC College of Medicine students for up to four blocks in these apartments. This helps us provide housing for those who do not have other options. If Students have friends or family in the Chattanooga area, we expect that the students will utilize those additional options for housing during rotations, whenever possible. UT students classified as "East Only" who intend to complete most of their clerkship and elective rotations in Chattanooga are expected to provide their own housing at their expense. We cannot accommodate non-UT students in student housing at this time.Students needing alternative housing suggestions in Chattanooga should email our Medical Student Services Specialist, Tiffany Nabors, so she can provide a list of suggested options.
