ANA Summer Seminar

I am thinking about going to the the ANA Summer Seminar.

My first reaction is to book one of the nearby hotels as opposed to the dorm, just seems more comfortable. But as I thought about it, I am wondering if the dorm might be better, get to know the other attendees and hang out.

I know if I decide to go I need to book quickly, some of the classes are already full.

Anyone have any input?

Thank You

    The dorms are better for social life in the evenings, but they have no AC and can get hot. Personally I found it hard to sleep due to the heat and would hotel next time.

    Bring lots of coins - particularly anything you want to sell. In addition to everything else, it’s a week long BST forum.

    A buddy and I did a VRBO of a house two blocks from campus. It was great.

    I wished I had brought some coins to share with others.

    After trying to sleep in the dorm a couple hours on the first night, I found myself at the Wyndham when I woke up in the morning, with the AC on full blast 🙂.

    anyone over 22 years old - go get a hotel room or a B&B room. Not worth staying in the dorms.

    The St. Mary's B&B is the place to stay - highly recommended. The ANA also used it for the instructor's reception.

    That’s where I stayed, and I liked it. And most of the other guests were there for Summer Seminar. There are other B&B’s in the area, so you do have options.
