I am a 4th yr student at Baylor. I don't know of any ideal (read free) housing available to visiting students. So, if you are going to pay, here are a few options. The Homestead place is nice due to the maid service, bus route, and furnishings. It may be a more expensive option. Baylor has student housing available at the Favrot Towers in the TMC. I don't know the prices for rooms or if the rooms come furnished. The good thing about Favrot is that you can roll out of bed and be at your hospital in literally 5 mins. No car needed. I also know of some students willing to sub-let rooms for visiting students. Email me personally if you want more specifics on those options. Most students live on a bus route to the TMC, but the Metro system in Houston is not the best. That's all I know.
