Harvard Fall 2011

[Micael]

I am quite likely to go. Anybody from Québec going there? We could carpool.

I am thinking sleeping there the night before to avoid waking up at 2am. Any tips for cheap place?

Two days after I get back from Worlds. I'm going to have to sit this one out.

Might go, not sure though. If I did it would be my first competition. As I'm 15, I'd have to ask my parents to take me, but seeing as I go to MIT like every other day of the week it probably won't be a problem.

Is going to competitions worth it? I have a 22.19 ao100...

See you guys there, maybe

Sidenote: That70sShowDude, it should be "Y u no have tables" instead of "Why u no have tables" [/memenazi]

You should definitely go, competitions are for fun, and 22 seconds is decent, there are a lot of people who go who aren't that fast.

Any ideas when it'll start? Like time.

You do realize they put a schedule up, correct...?

I might not have transportation. Hrmm.

I checked the psych sheet, and most of my results are outdated now. How often is it updated. Whenever someone signs up?
How far are you travelling Bob? Hope you can make it,

CubingUSA was last updated on 9/20/11 and it usually updates around once a month. I think that's what you were asking, right?

Yeah, thanks. I was worried when I saw the 4x4 there'd been an error at my last comp, but my profile has it right. I assumed it autoupdated whenever results came in.

We've booked tickets to get in Friday 21 and leave Saturday 22, but we can't find any accommodation. Any cheap hostels nearby? We keep finding ones that advertise easy travel to Harvard, but turn out to be in Bedford. Anywhere under $250 in Harvard/Cambridge, or a site specifically for this? Been looking for over an hour now. We get in at South Station.

You should ask people if you can crash at their place; I'm sure they'll be more than understanding. Any takers?

I'm with my Dad.

We're kind of lost. We need to look on Google Maps for every location, we don't know our way around Harvard. I know if someone wanted a hotel in Melbourne I could tell them where to, and not to book off the top of my head.

I don't think they'll mind much, as it's only one extra person (if the host/hostess is cool).

Hotels.com is your friend.

I don't think you'll find something under $250 in Cambridge, but you'll find close to Cambridge for under $300. Here are some options:

Royalton Suites
Boston Omni Parker House Hotel
Wyndham Boston/Chelsea

Here's from Harvard's webpage: http://www.gse.harvard.edu/about/campus/directions/accommodations.html.

Also, if you happen to find something around Kenmore Square in Boston, that's where I'll be coming from and I can help you get there. It's easy to get to Harvard from (pretty much) anything on the T.
