Hotel

For those attending from out-of-town, we strongly recommend reservations at The Franklin Hotel, which is within walking distance of campus.  If you will not be staying at the Franklin, you'll need access to a car for driving to and from campus.  Hotel shuttles and campus buses will not accommodate the bootcamp's late-night sessions.  Parking is available in Town of Chapel Hill lots for a fee. See alternative lodging and parking options.
