The dorm is air-conditioned. Sheets are provided and will be changed once per week, towels will be provided daily, a pillow, blanket and soap will also be provided. There will be a phone in your room for local calls only. You may want to bring a phone card for long distance calls.

-If you are flying to Lexington, the airport code is LEX. Five airlines (and additional foreign code shares) service the airport: Delta, Northwest, US Airways, Continental, and United. Reservations made at least 28 days in advance for no more than 28 days are significantly cheaper than last minute reservations or longer stays. While the Louisville and Cincinnati airports are only 90 and 75 miles from campus, respectively, getting to Lexington from either is expensive if you do not have a car.
