I was in outpatient housing on the Hopkins campus, rather than in the hospital (that's how they do it at Hopkins, they only admit you if you get an infection or experience other problems). I was there for 23 days. My oncologist (in my regular network, not my Hopkins dr.) told me, before the whole thing started, to prepare for a 2 month stay. But as soon as I got there, the nurses were saying 3-4 weeks.
Where do you live? I live in northern VA and went to the Hopkins cancer center in downtown Baltimore.

I live in NJ and will be heading to the Cancer Institute of New Jersey. They told me the average stay in the hospital is 17 days, so I’m hoping that I’ll be home within three weeks. I have to say, I’m incredibly nervous about it. My PETscan that I took after my induction treatments ended shows I’m in complete remission, and I feel great. So it’s really hard to rationalize having this done, which will make me feel really crappy and put me in isolation for months!
