VISITOR ACCOMMODATIONS
We have reserved a block of rooms at John Jeffries House, a local New England Bed and Breakfast in the historic Boston neighborhood, Beacon Hill, just across the bridge from MIT.  Those rooms will be prepaid by the PAOC program.
Contact Carol Sprague (carols@mit.edu, 617-253-3381) to be assigned a space in a suite.  The week before the Open House, she will send visitors their room confirmation numbers.

VISITOR TRAVEL
All prospective students should make their own travel reservations.  For reimbursement, save all receipts for travel and food; after the Open house ends, give them to Carol Sprague.
