Accommodations
Boston College is located a trolley ride away from downtown Boston in the lovely residential community of Chestnut Hill. The campus is quiet, pleasant, and safe. Participants will be housed in air-conditioned dormitory suites at Boston College. The suites are composed of either two or four bedrooms sharing a common living area that has a refrigerator and a sink but no stove, plates or microwave. There is one bathroom for every two bedrooms. Each bedroom has two beds. You may choose to either share a bedroom with another person or have your own bedroom. Rates are $69 per person per night, for a single room in a suite; and $50 per person per night, for a double room in a suite. The suites are nicely appointed but provide only basic accommodations: sheets, two towels, a blanket, and a pillow. There are no bedside reading lamps. There is a Boston College dining hall, Corcoran Commons, across the street from the dormitory.
Because the Boston area is so rich in restaurants, participants can make their own lunch and dinner plans. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all available at Corcoran Commons, although most lunches will be eaten near the sites where we will be working. For dinner, participants will be able to use the BC dining hall, or restaurants in downtown Boston (with easy access to public transportation back to the campus), or downtown Newton, which is a short cab ride away from campus. There are a couple of coffee houses and sandwich shops within easy walking distance of the dorms.
All BC dorms have access to the Internet. Boston College is easily accessible to downtown Boston and Cambridge by public transportation. You will have your evenings free to rest, catch up on your reading, or explore Boston and Cambridge. You will have library privileges while you are here, which means you will also be able to use the library's extensive digital archives from your dorm room.
