Behavior & Attitudes:

  • Best behavior and positive attitudes throughout the trip are an expectation.

  • We all want to have a memorable, fun-filled, and educational experience.  This will happen if we are all staying positive, friendly, and supportive of each other throughout the journey.

  • Meeting times/communication are non-negotiable on the trip.

  • If we post a meeting time, you must be there ON TIME.

  • Communication to students will be via Groupme, Remind 101, and/or Text while on the trip.

  • Curfews are serious at ITF.

Location:

  • We are staying in the following dorm:

    • McNutt Quadrangle
      1101 N Fee Lane
      Bloomington, IN 47406

  • Our dining hall is the McNutt Eatery.

Spending Money : 

  • We will have full cafeteria services while on campus, but all food/travel expenses/souvenirs/etc. while not on campus will be on your own.

  • I do not have a solid recommendation on how much to bring, as it varies from person to person.  My best guess is about $25 per day.
