Is Juliacon housing favouring students?

JuliaCon 2025

Continuing the discussion from [JuliaCon] Housing is now available for purchase for JuliaCon 2025!:

The Juliacon housing looks like a great deal, even just for the social / logistic aspect. However:

@rayegun Should that be read as “If you have the means to buy a hotel, please do so to leave space for students?”

I would prefer at least a few hints towards hotels in reasonable distance. Any ideas would be welcome. My travel budget has allocated parts for that and I do not want to “steal” student accommodations.

FAQ

  • What is the room layout? The rooms available to purchase are apartment style with 4 bedrooms and a common living space. Each bedroom has it’s own key to access, however the bathroom is shared with 3 other attendees.
  • How are roommates selected? At this time we have not determined the method for roommate selection. As we approach JuliaCon we will send out a form to all UPitt housing guests to gather demographic information and roommate preferences.
  • Is there a traditional hotel block? At this time we are only offering UPitt housing. We may release additional information about discounted hotel offerings in the area, however we do not anticipate a JuliaCon sponsored hotel block at this time.
  • Do I need a ticket to purchase housing? Yes. Anyone who registers for UPitt housing and does not have a ticket under the same name / email by July 1 will be warned, followed by a cancellation of their housing purchase.
  • Is there air conditioning? Yes, all rooms have air conditioning.
  • Where is the housing? While exact buildings have yet to be assigned more information about the housing complex can be found here: https://www.pc.pitt.edu/housing-services/university-owned-housing/bouquet-gardens

It’s just Pitt or University of Pittsburgh. Never UPitt. #H2P. :slight_smile:
