Lodging
Lodging at Ohio University will be at Biddle Hall.
Biddle Hall
51 East Green Dr.
Athens, OH 45701-3137
Arrival & Check-In will be here.
Biddle Hall is a dormitory. We will have single-occupancy rooms at Biddle, for the comfort of our attendees - - so every person will get their own room. Each room will have its own microwave and a micro-fridge.
While the university does not provide phones or computers in the room, there are phone jacks and data ports for people who would like to bring their own phones &/or ethernet wires and laptops. The campus is wireless, and wireless access will be available free to all OLSSI attendees. Just ask for a password at check-in!
