[Chicago] Chicago Digest, Vol 16, Issue 10

[Andrew Harrington]

The killer on Loyola's lakeshore campus as a venue for Pycon is 
housing.  We might get facilities in the beginning of march vacation 
week, but there is (or at least used to be) one small hostel down the 
street, and other than that no housing nearby.

Is it worth even looking for a cheap facilities price at Loyola if 
people need a major commute on the Red Line to get to housing?

Loyola also has a campus downtown at the Watertower, but I do not think 
we have rooms big enough there, and then you have plenty of housing, but 
*way* expensive.
