FAQs
Housing
Participants live in the
Living Learning
Communities (LLC), in single
rooms.
Sheets are supplied. One towel is provided; some past students suggest bringing your own, big, fluffy towel
(and washcloths) if you want something more luxurious than dorm towels!
Each room has a telephone and air-conditioning. You may want to bring a
radio or other source for music. You will have access to email from
NIATT's Traffic Laboratory. If to make your travel more affordable, you
choose to come on Saturday, August, let us
know so we can make special arrangements for you. All participants are
expected to leave the residence hall on Saturday unless special
arrangements are made.
Meals
You will receive a meal ticket to be used for
breakfasts, lunches, and the evening meals, Monday through Friday, at
different places on campus. Sunday evening will be a picnic/barbeque on
the lawn outside the Engineering Physics building (see
map). Friday night, there will be a
closing dinner and closing ceremony in the Commons.
Clothing
It's summer! Casual! August in Moscow is usually nice
and hot, but not humid. The temperatures does drop in the evening, so you may
want to bring a sweater for evenings outside. Although the
Engineering Physics Building is air-conditioned, it can be especially
warm when you're in the traffic lab because of all the equipment. Be
comfortable! Check out the view on the UI webcam.
Materials
All supplied for you!
In Case of Emergencies
Feel free to give your family and friends the NIATT telephone and fax
numbers for use during normal (PDT) business hours! We'll get the message to
you! [phone: 208-885-0576; fax: 208-885-2877]
Recreation
The
campus is only a few blocks away from a shopping mall and a downtown area
with movies, bookstores, etc. Those interested can purchase a weekly pass
($5) to use the ASUI
Kibbie Activity Center [racquetball courts; weight room; tennis
courts; cardiovascular equipment, and universal equipment.] Those who
prefer swimming can purchase a weekly pass ($5) to use the Swim Center and
the Memorial Gym.
Insurance
All participants are covered by UI Camp Accident
Insurance.
Getting to Moscow
There is a local (very small!!) airport
(Moscow-Pullman). The nearest international airport is in Spokane, Washington (GEG).
Reservations can be made with Wheatland Express Spokane Airport Shuttle
(800-334-2207) to bring you from the airport to Moscow [ask for drop off
at St. Augustine Church, only three blocks away from the Living/Learning
Center].
You should plan on arriving sometime Sunday afternoon--we'll begin with a get-acquainted picnic, where you'll receive the week's
schedule. The workshop will begin promptly at 8 am on Monday. The final
group activity will be Friday evening. Plan to check out of
your room on Saturday unless you have made previous
arrangements.
If you plan on flying, you should book your
flight as soon as possible to assure the least expensive travel and a schedule that
fits your needs.
Please let us know
your travel plans. If you fly into the Moscow-Pullman airport, we can have
someone meet you. If you fly into Spokane, Washington, or Lewiston, Idaho,
you need to make your own arrangements. [Taxis service from Lewiston to Moscow
is available].
Getting Around
You will not need a car while you are here. Moscow,
Idaho, is pretty small, and you can easily walk to the center of town and
to the nearby mall. Transportation involving workshop activities will be
provided. If you do
bring a car, you will be able to park free near the Living/Learning
Center.
