Travel Tips
Transportation
- We highly recommend sharing the
transportation costs by riding together, splitting gas,
etc.,—this will allow you to receive more funding as well as
more funding for other members.
- Look into all modes of transportation.
(Car/Van rental, Amtrak, Bus, Plane, etc) We highly
recommend the Amtrak when feasible. It is safe, cost
effective, and a peaceful mode of transportation.
- If other ESG members are going, split the travel costs and report only your estimated portion on the Travel Request Form.
Lodging
- When traveling in state—find out if
ESG members’ families can host you and a few others. This
will again cut down on lodging costs.
- When traveling out of state or areas
where ESG members reside, please share a room with at least
3 others.
- Sometimes there are other graduate
students, ESS, and/or PE students traveling to the same
conference—ask around or contact one of the ESG Faculty
Advisors to find out if there are other lodging options.
- It is also recommended to look on
Orbits.com or Travelocity.com for better lodging prices than
what the Conference Hotel is offering.
