$180 – Private room for the weekend (limited availability)

$165 – Shared room for the weekend

$115 —  Shared room, Saturday and Sunday only

If you wish to attend the conference but not stay at Warren Wilson, you will be responsible for purchasing your own meals. On campus meals will cost about $40 and you will pay at the cafeteria.
