Boston University’s
Student Residence at 10 Buick Street
will be our housing facility. This modern,
air-conditioned apartment-style residence
consists of four-bedroom, two-bath suites
complete with living rooms and kitchens.
All bedrooms are single occupancy. Participants
are given the option to either stay on
campus or commute. Commuters choosing
to stay in a hotel are responsible for
making their own housing and travel arrangements
and paying for their accommodations.
Housing at 10 Buick Street will fill
up fast, so register early to guarantee
your space.
What to Bring/What to Wear
Towels and
bed linens will be provided. The dress
code is casual and comfortable — shorts,
sneakers, and sandals are appropriate
workshop attire. Summer in the Boston
area can be hot and humid. A light sweater
or jacket is a good idea for those who
find air-conditioned rooms chilly. Be
sure to bring your athletic clothing
and equipment to take advantage of the
terrific facilities on and off campus.
