Continuing the discussion from [[JuliaCon] Housing is now available for purchase for JuliaCon 2025!](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/juliacon-housing-is-now-available-for-purchase-for-juliacon-2025/128889):
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](https://juliacon.org/2025/housing/#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](https://www.pc.pitt.edu/housing-services/university-owned-housing/bouquet-gardens)

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