ATTIRE:
Feel free to dress casual during the weekend. On Friday and Saturday night, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the city, so bring whatever you like to wear out in the evening. Please check the weather in Chicago before arriving and dress appropriately.
ACCOMODATIONS:
Each of you will have a student host, and many of you will be doubled or tripled up with several students. Most medical students live downtown, but those who do not will help you with your travel arrangements. If it is not too big a hassle, please bring a sleeping bag with you. If you prefer to make your own housing arrangements, you may do so at your own expense. Many hotels in the area offer special rates for Northwestern students and guests. Unless otherwise notified, I will assume that you prefer to stay with a student host.
