Discounted housing will be available at the University’s Plaza Universitaria. The Plaza Universitaria is located across the street from the University and an easy walk to the meeting room. Double-rooms with 2 beds are available to share at approximately $50 a night per person, with possible additional support. Single rooms are also available at a higher price. Rooms include internet access, central A/C, telephone extension, and a kitchenette (refrigerator and microwave). For those of you attending the SMBE conference, there is also the possibility of an extended stay at the University's Plaza. The Caribe Hilton where the SMBE conference will be held is a bit of a drive away; thus transportation accommodations will need to be made. Please indicate your interest in a room in the registration page.
