Campus Housing

Saint James Apartments

Bradley University has reserved quad-style apartments in the Saint James complex for the NEH Summer Institute.

We strongly recommend that all participants elect to stay in these apartments, which are priced at $250 per room for the full 3 weeks of the Institute.

Saint James apartments are adjacent to the Bradley University campus at 1010 West Bradley Avenue, Peoria, IL 61606. Many restaurants, and a pharmacy, are located within a few blocks of the apartments.

Each quad apartment is furnished, and offers 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a kitchenette.

The Middle Eastern Christianity NEH Summer Institute has been made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy demands wisdom.
