Will accommodation be provided?
All delegates are welcome to apply for Harvard housing for the duration of the conference. A current Harvard student will host delegates in his/her dorm. However, this accommodation is given on a first-come-first-serve basis. Those who do not receive dormitory housing and those who would prefer to stay in a hotel or hostel must arrange their own accommodation.
