SWCC Short Stays:  Simple Tips for Visiting Families and Students

When you’re in Osceola for Southwestern Community College (SWCC), sometimes it’s just a quick trip ... a weekend visit, a music performance, or a family check-in mid-semester. Staying at The Jeffreys Hotel Extended Stay makes those short stays easy, comfortable, and close to campus.

Study-friendly spots

Students looking for quiet can head to the Osceola Public Library or settle in with strong Wi-Fi and coffee at Wake N’ Brew. Both give a welcome change of pace from campus lounges.

Easy meals

Family time is better when no one is worrying about food. Family Table is always a reliable sit-down choice, while Mayberry’s offers grab-and-go breakfast sandwiches for busy mornings. Our local breakfast guide has even more favorites from Osceola neighbors.

Errands in a pinch

Groceries and snacks are easy to pick up at Hy-Vee, just minutes from campus. A nearby pharmacy and gas stations mean you don’t waste time running around when every minute counts.
