attend? NO. Students who are graduating at the end of the Spring 2009
semester/term are welcome to attend.

from one institution? YES. No more than three students from the same school may attend the same project. We prefer no more than two. Meeting new people and offering a wide variety of view points are keys to the project success.

somewhere I can stay?
YES
Q: I'm a vegetarian. Will you be able to accommodate me? We
will do our best. All participants with special dietary needs should let us
know as soon as possible so we can plan for them as we prepare our menus.
We may ask for your input and cooperation to find a good (tasty) solution.
Q: Do I need to have a water filter? NO.
If you have one please bring it but if you do not own one it is not necessary
to purchase one. We can
share.
