Summer Physics Academy 2008
Housing Information
(Note: 2009 page to be updated when details are finalized, although arrangements are likely to be similar to last year's)
On campus housing is available to Summer Physics Academy students at a cost of $30/day, including weekends. You will be staying in the Moore Complex, which is apartment style housing (see www.buffalostate.edu/tour/index.asp?sectid=morc for details). Each apartment has 2-4 bedrooms with two beds in each bedroom. Here are some notes about the apartments:
* The rooms are not air-conditioned, so you may want to bring a small (or not so small) fan. Buffalo summers can be hot or chilly, so bring layers of clothes.
* The kitchen is not supplied with any utensils. You will need to bring a small number of items with which to cook and eat.
* There is no microwave in the apartments – you can bring one if you wish. There is a full sized refrigerator and stove.
* Linens will be provided (bed linens, blanket, pillow and a towel), but feel free to bring your own if that would make you more comfortable. You might want to bring your own towels because those provided are kind of small :).
* There are laundry facilities and gym facilities available for summer residents.
* The rooms have ethernet outlets, but you must bring an ethernet cable if you want to use a laptop on the Internet. There is spotty wireless on campus.
