MEETING LOCATION

Here is a link to a single page with a map and directions and phone numbersPRINT THIS OUT NOW and put it in your wallet.

Short version: take subway 1,9 (red line, local West side IRT) uptown to 116th Street.  If you are staying at the Newton, you are at 96th Street (there is a subway stop on those lines there).  If you are coming from Penn Station, the same lines also stop there.  Walk into campus, then turn left to North end of campus, where in the North-East corner (right hand-side) you see the entrance to the Mudd building.

ACCOMMODATIONS

Click here for information.  Make your own arrangements, be sure to ask for Columbia rates as listed on the web site (but you may also want to check hotels.com or similar for cheaper rates). Recommended: Hotel Newton. Be sure to be on West Side, above 60th Street is better. Columbia is at 116th Street.

To get from the Newton to Columbia, take the subway uptown local Line 1 or 9 (red line, aka Westside IRT) from 96th Street to 116th Street (7 minute ride), or walk (25 minutes).

TRAIN TO PHILADELPHIA

Check amtrak.com.  Enter "NYP" in "From" field and "PHL" in "To" field.  I suggest the Philadelphia party aims for the 7.35 train. Note that that it is a cheap train, but requires (free) seat reservations even in coach! Do not get a business class seat, it is a waste of money. All coach seats have 110V outlets.
