Shadyside Inn

Sharing a room. If you wish to save expenses by sharing a room with another ASL participant, we will try to put you in touch with a possible roommate. Contact the ASL office, preferably by email at asl@vassar.edu, if you wish to take advantage of this service. Please provide the following information: (1) your arrival and departure dates, (2) your gender, (3) whether or not you smoke (and if not, whether you would accept a roommate who does), and (4) a telephone number where you can be reached to coordinate arrangements. Note that even if you have requested that we try to find you a suitable roommate, you should still make your own reservation in Pittsburgh; later, if a roommate match is achieved, and both you and your roommate have made reservations, one of them should be cancelled.
