Although there are fine restaurants and groceries immediately
surrounding the Emory campus, we recommend the meal plan available
on campus at Cox Hall because of the high quality and variety of
food available, including salad and potato bars, hot meat and
vegetarian entrees, Mexican buffet, delicatessen and snack bar.

There are a limited number of air conditioned spaces which will be
assigned on a first-come basis: 198 single rooms (two rooms share
one bathroom) and 21 double rooms. These air conditioned spaces are
furthest from the gym, about a ten-minute walk away. The closer,
non-air conditioned rooms are double occupancy.
There
are several motels in the area: Sheraton-Emory Inn is arranging
special rates for conventioneers. Others nearby are: Emory
Pines and University Inn. Camping
is not allowed within Dekalb County, nor on the Emory campus. The
nearest campgrounds are located at Stone Mountain National Park
approximately 12 miles away.
