Housing

As part of your registration fee, you will receive a four-night stay in the Dartmouth Residence Halls. Each attendee will stay in a private room with air conditioning and share a semi-private bathroom and shower facilities. Some showers in the newer residence halls are located in the hallways. Rooms have daily maid service and towels and linens are provided. An ice machine is located in the dormitory kitchen area.

Rooms will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis determined by the date CASE receives registrations. Be sure to let CASE know in advance if you require any special accommodations due to physical limitations.

Due to liability limitations, guests not affiliated with the institute are not permitted to stay in the residence halls. If you must bring additional guests with you, it is recommended that you stay off site (see list of nearby hotels under the Traveling to Hanover section). Please notify CASE staff in advance by checking the appropriate box on your registration form if you do not plan on staying in the residence halls.

Residence hall life is very different than hotel life.
Though linens and towels are provided, many amenities are not (refer to the What to Bring section for a comprehensive list of items you may want to bring with you to Dartmouth.)

You are responsible for your own room key and will incur any charges for lost keys. The Conferences & Special Events office agrees to provide each guest with one (1) room key at check-in. If keys and/or access cards are not returned at check out, a fee of $50/room key will be charged to the participant.

What to Bring

Attire
Casual dress is appropriate for the entire institute, including shorts and t-shirts. New England can be quite hot during July. Cool and comfortable should be the rule of thumb. Very few, if any, restaurants require coat and tie during the summer.

Please also wear comfortable shoes or sneakers. The distance from residence halls to classrooms is considerable, and everyone will do lots of walking.

Additional items for those staying in the residence halls
Below is a list of recommended items to bring, keeping in mind that the town of Hanover has many shops and services and is within walking distance of campus.

• Laptop computer and Ethernet cable if you require Internet access from your dorm room (public computer work-stations with Internet service are available in campus libraries)

• All personal toiletries, including soap and shower shoes

• Bath towels/bathrobe. Although towels are provided daily, you may want your own full-size towel.

• Rain gear and umbrella (walking is required rain or shine)

• Alarm clock (there is no "wake-up service")

• Small study lamp; high intensity (dorm rooms can be dark)

• Radio

• Recreational equipment (there will be limited opportunities for golf, tennis, swimming, etc.)

• Comfortable shoes or sneakers (there will be lots of walking)

• Cool and very casual clothing (even New Hampshire gets hot)
