Links
Logistics: Getting here, staying here, eating here.
The Rochester airport (code: ROC) is about 20 minutes from RIT. There is uber/lyft available as well as taxis. If you are bringing or renting a car, you should coordinate with Matt Sayre before you arrive to arrange for a parking pass to the RIT campus. You can tell your phone to direct you to “405 Global Way”; don’t just drive/uber/lyft to “RIT” because that will take you to the wrong part of campus.
RIT housing will be in Global Village, dorm E (also known as Global Village 405). (campus map). These are suites of single rooms with shared bathrooms, living areas, and micro-kitchens in each suite. Each room comes with a packet of bedding & towel. You should bring your own toiletries.
If you park on campus, you should park in “General parking” (NOT RESERVED PARKING). The Global village Lot is directly behind the dorms; Lot S is close to Global Village and Gosnell Hall where we will be meeting; Lot F is also close to Gosnell. Campus map: GOS/008.
Specific session rooms: TBD. Campus map: GOS/008.
Breakfast and lunch is provided every day of the field school. Breakfast is typically fruit, granola, yogurt, and pastries; coffee and tea are available. The joint grocery list is in the participant materials. Lunch is available via RIT dining card; there are a number of different fast-casual options near Global Village.
There is an optional pre-dinner at Dogtown on Wednesday at 6:30pm.
RIT has both eduroam (if your institution participates) and a guest network. Select “RIT guest” and follow the prompts.
