What's the cost of registration and accommodation for each student for the summer school?
The cost breakdown is:
- $175 summer school registration fee
- $210 for housing (optional)
The provided accommodation option is totally optional. That's the best we can do: $35/night, for six nights. And it's a pretty good deal—I've looked around quite a bit for places during that time period, and the options I found aren't cheap. Not that I'm pushing our offer (I don't get any kickback or anything); I'm just saying it's a decent deal. Of course, you could always try out couchsurfing.org, which I highly recommend (I've enormously enjoyed couchsurfing in the past---and Austinites are pretty cool people), but if you're looking for something easy and fast, where you can make a reservation and be assured a bed, our offer is pretty reasonable.
And by the way, registration for accommodation isn't up quite yet, but it will be very soon.
Finally, if you want to come early for the bootcamp, or stay after for the TLS and RAIN conferences and Turing Symposium, that will be three extra days, ergo, +$105. One or the other, it's all just $35/night. (NB: The cost of TLS conference attendance is waived for NASSLLI students.)
What's the bootcamp going to be?
Details of the bootcamp will be announced this month (April). We expect to run introductory courses on logic, statistics, semantics, and pragmatics on the 16th (in the evening) and the 17th (throughout the day). A full schedule will be announced by the end of April.
And then a weekend of stuff after?
On the following weekend, there's TLS, RAIN, and the Turing Symposium.
The (provided) accommodation options come out to these:
- Nights of June 15-16 (2 nights)
- Nights of June 17-22 (6 nights - what comes with the scholarship)
- Nights of June 23-24 (2 nights)
Which are all at the usual rate of $35/night for a double, $70/night for a room to yourself.
So if you come for the summer school and the TLS/Turing/RAIN festivities, but not the bootcamp, you'll check in sometime the afternoon of Sunday, June 17th. And then you'll check out by the afternoon of Monday, June 25th.
But if you come for the bootcamp, or early just because you want to see a little of Austin before classes start (good idea, by the way!) you'll be checking in the afternoon of Friday, June 15th or the morning of Saturday June 16th.
And, finally, if you want to jet before the weekend, you'll check out on the morning of Saturday, June 23th.
And the actual classes?
The daily schedule of classes (subject to adjustment) will be
| Session 1 | 9:00 | - | 10:30 |
| Session 2 | 10:40 | - | 12:10 |
| lunch | 12:10 | - | 1:20 |
| Session 3 | 1:20 | - | 2:50 |
| Session 4 | 3:00 | - | 4:30 |
| break | 4:30 | - | 5:00 |
| Session 5 | 5:00 | - | 6:30 |
for every day from Monday to Friday.
