Participant Lodging

We have identified a variety of lodging options for conference participants, knowing that IASC conference participants have a variety of different income levels.

Two important notes:

1. June in Amherst can be very hot, so air conditioning is recommended for people who need it to be cooler to sleep. Choose Option 1 or the UMass Hotel below.

2. Unless you have a car, we STRONGLY RECOMMEND you consider staying in an on-campus venue. Off-campus hotels are NOT walking distance to campus so you would either have to have a car (and be willing to pay daily parking at UMass) or take public bus transport which will not always be convenient, depending on the hotel.

ON-CAMPUS OPTIONS
(highly recommended)

Option 1 - Commonwealth Honors College
(air conditioned)

Option 2 - Standard UMass Resident Hall Room
(NOT air conditioned)

Option 3 - UMass Hotel (air conditioned)

The rates we negotiated are listed in the below table and we are in the process of finalizing the reservation process (e.g., waiting for the IASC group code). We expect to have a link to make reservations for this hotel sometime in February. But if you are anxious and want to contact the hotel directly, visit https://hotelumass.com/contact-us.

OFF-CAMPUS OPTIONS
(best for people who have a car)
