I didn't say we want students to (necessarily) pay out of pocket -- indeed, I pointed David Chen to the travel-support site. <BR/><BR/>I won't respond to further anonymous criticism.<BR/><BR/>Aravind SrinivasanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890204.post-25049701678027732102009-03-09T18:28:00.000-04:002009-03-09T18:28:00.000-04:00It's pretty creepy that STOC can't let undergradua...It's pretty creepy that STOC can't let undergraduates, who do not have any funds for reimbursement, attend for free. Obviously, students in the area can generally drop in and no one checks the registration. You really want interested *students* to pay out of pocket for their own registration?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890204.post-65428190312237502792009-03-09T10:15:00.000-04:002009-03-09T10:15:00.000-04:00Hi David,I regret that the registration cannot be ...Hi David,<BR/><BR/>I regret that the registration cannot be reduced due to the fact that you won't need a hotel stay. However, if you think you may be eligible, I encourage you to apply for student travel support: see <A HREF="http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/conferences/stoc2009/travel-support.shtml" REL="nofollow">here</A>. This is of course not a guarantee, since this support-scheme will likely get many applicants. Good luck, and hope you will attend the conference!<BR/><BR/>Best wishes,<BR/>Aravind SrinivasanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890204.post-50005443561936289452009-03-09T01:42:00.000-04:002009-03-09T01:42:00.000-04:00Hi,I'm an undergraduate student interested in atte...Hi,<BR/><BR/>I'm an undergraduate student interested in attending STOC, but the cost of registration is still too high for me. However, I live in the area of the conference. If I do not need hotel reservations, will it be possible to register for cheaper?David Chenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16935538510097663388noreply@blogger.com
