ASL Immersion FAQs
What does my registration fee include?
Your registration fee includes a shared dorm room, breakfast and lunch each day, and all activities.
It does not include dinner, transportation from the airport, or incidentals (such as shopping or rides at the Mall!).
I can't make it on time, or I need to leave early.
We ask all participants to commit to the full program. Arriving late or leaving early means that you miss vital components of the program.
What is provided in the dorms?
The dorm has a full kitchen in the basement, and a small kitchenette in the lounge on each floor. The full kitchen has a stove, refrigerator and sink. The kitchenettes have a microwave and a small refrigerator and a sink. Utensils are not provided (pots, pans, towels, etc.).
Each dorm room will provide a pillow, blanket, sheets and towel for your use during your stay. Extras are not available!
Are there places to eat nearby?
In addition to the campus dining service, there are at least 27 restaurants, groceries or coffee shops within two miles of campus. We will provide a list and map when you arrive.
What is the weather like in St. Paul in June?
Temperatures are typically in the upper 60's-low 70's during the day and 50's-60's at night. The dorms are not air-conditioned, but the classrooms are. Do keep in mind that we will be going off campus in the afternoons for activities.
Is there a dress code?
Casual clothing is acceptable, but please avoid busy prints or excessively revealing clothing (short shorts or mini skirts). And since afternoon activities may involve quite a bit of walking, be sure to have a pair of shoes that are comfortable for walking in.
What airport do I fly into?
Look for flights going to MSP - Minneapolis/St. Paul International.
How do I get from the airport to the campus?
You may take a cab or, if you are adventurous, take public transportation. A cab costs approximately $18. We provide details on the public transportation in your confirmation email.
My friend and I would like to share a room.
Indicate any special roommate requests on your registration form. For those who do not indicate a roommate request, we will match you up with a Deaf Mentor roommate on a first-come, first-served basis.
Is there a gym I can use when I am there?
Unfortunately no.
