Housing and Meals
A block of rooms has been reserved at the Holiday Inn Brownstone in Raleigh, with transportation to and from the college each day being provided. The room rate is $79 per night, which can be split between two people sharing a room. Please note that the room fee will only be split for those nights on which there are two people in the room. If one person arrives a day or two before their roommate, they will be responsible for the entire $79 for those nights. To secure your room, please e-mail Samantha Hartford with the following information:

1. Your name
2. Your arrival date
3. Your departure date
4. Whether or not you want to share a room with two double beds with another person.
5. If you do want to share a room, and already know with whom, send the name of that person. If you would like a roommate assigned to you, please indicate your gender.

A few meals will be provided during the course; most nights you will be on your own for dinner. You will need to purchase your lunch in the CVM cafeteria each day; there is an ATM located in the cafeteria where you can get cash.

Transportation
