This year there are several options for housing. We are offering host families and hotels. For host family accommodations please email Prof. DiLutis at: thereedmachine@gmail.com
For hotels, we are recommending several off-site locations. Most are an 8-10 minute drive from UMD. Single rooms range from $108.00 - $120 per night and we will be arranging free transportation for each day. If you would like a roommate to share the cost of the hotel room, please email Prof. DiLutis to help coordinate.
Lunch is included in the tuition and will be provided for all participants.
For dinner, local restaurants and shops are located within walking or short driving distance of the university. Here is a short list of recommended places:
