Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I stay with someone I know who lives in NYC?
ANSWER: Of course, but you need to be able able to travel independently and either meet us at the Leo House each morning, or at the destination of the morning class.
2. Can I stay at a hotel instead of the Leo House?
ANSWER: I highly discourage this because it makes the trip and week much easier if we all stay together. The Leo House is a very affordable and definitely adds to the experience of the trip. Talk to previous classmates who have attended for their recommendations (they may chime in on this blog).

New question: Can I bring family members along?
ANSWER: Yes, that is fine. They will not be able to attend the class events (except for a couple which we can negotiate) unless they pay the institute fee ($380), but they can join us for meals, the broadway show, and other things. It's a VERY BUSY week and there isn't much time or energy for site seeing after a long day of class (and sometimes a long evening too).
Plan to come the weekend before or stay the weekend after if you want to build in extra site seeing.
Does the Leo House include breakfast or any other meals? What does the 5-day Summer Institute fee cost?
ReplyDeleteThe Leo House does have a great hot breakfast option, and last year it was $8.00. There are also many option on the block where we stay (Starbucks, Murray's Bagels, a deli, grocer store, etc).
ReplyDeleteThe Institute fee is $380 which includes admission to all museums, stipends for the speakers, and entrance to the Crossing the Blvd. performance on Monday evening.
