Kitchens are not stocked with utensils or other kitchenware. Housing is first come, first served. Reservations are refundable if more than 30 days in advance of the conference.<\/p>\n<h3>Fitness and Recreation<\/h3>\n<p>Rates for conference guests at BU FitRec are $12\/day, or $38\/week. If you wish to utilize the FitRec Center during your stay, you\u00a0may visit the FitRec front desk after checking into 10 Buick Street to purchase a pass.<\/p>\n<h3>WiFi<\/h3>\n<p>All conference participants are welcome to use BU&#8217;s Guest wireless network, on any devices. Instructions for logging on may be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/tech\/services\/infrastructure\/networks\/wireless\/guest\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Reservations<\/h3>\n<p>Housing reservations\u00a0may be made directly via <a href=\"http:\/\/stay.bu.edu\/nime6-2018.bnb\" target=\"_blank\">BU Events &amp; Conferences<\/a>.\u00a0You may request to share a suite with friends by making a note in the \u201cspecial requests\u201d box on the payment page; however, both persons must make the request to ensure the housing assignment. If you reserve your room via phone, you must mention that you are attending the NIME6 conference.<\/p>\n<p>For guests seeking to stay in Boston before or after NIME6, please refer to our list of <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/nime6\/area-hotels\/\">recommended Boston hotels<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><span>Accommodations for Families with Children<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For those attending with small children, we highly recommend booking a nearby hotel because the dormitory-style housing at Buick Street is not convenient for families, and cribs are not available for infants. Booking a hotel will cost approximately the same as renting two dormitory rooms per night at Buick Street, which would be necessary since rooms have only single beds. We recommend booking your hotel early for the best rates.<\/p>\n<p>If you choose to book rooms at Buick Street, please keep in mind the following. Children old enough to require their own bed will need a separate booking. Please make it clear in the special request box that you wish to share a suite with your child. You will need to do so on both your booking as well as your child\u2019s. Also, please e-mail <a href=\"tdsmith7@bu.edu\">Tawnya Smith<\/a> so that we can double-check that you are placed in the same suite with your child.\u00a0 If you plan to share your room with an infant, there is no need for a separate booking, but you will need to provide your own crib.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 Buick Street: $85\/night We have negotiated a special conference rate for an apartment-style, air-conditioned University residence hall at 10 Buick Street.
