Housing
For those students who are accepted to the workshop, a registration link will be sent to you by email for your housing accommodations. Housing will be located on campus in Nobel Halls. These are 3-bedroom, 6-person, suite-style units with a shared living room and bathroom. The rooms are completely furnished (bed, desk, dresser, closet, etc.) and feature individual climate control systems in each bedroom and the common area, wired and wireless ethernet access in all rooms, and cable TV access for those who might choose to bring a TV. Linens are prepped in each room prior to arrival and are exchanged weekly if the resident brings their soiled linens properly bagged to the Conference Office in the building.
Students should arrive on July 7 before 6 pm and depart either on July 18 after 2pm or July 19. The housing office is open from 9am-8pm so students will need to check-in or check-out during that time.
