Additional Information
Housing
On-campus housing is available during the summer session. The options are shared dorm room with shared washroom and group kitchen. Having the whole room to yourself is also possible. Unfortunately there will be no apartment available for families with children. Depending on your family situation and dorm vacancy, adjacent dorm rooms may be possible for families. As an alternative option, there are also a number of hotels near campus and Airbnb accommodations.

Please note that there is no meal plan included in on-campus housing, and the cafeteria closed in the summer. Workshop participants must buy their own groceries and can use the shared kitchen in the dorms to cook. Students and workshop participants often form cooking groups to share in the cost and preparation responsibilities. Shared kitchen facilities will be supplied with dishes and appliances.
