Does anyone in the Dallas area know if any university dorms are
available for SIGGRAPH visitors? If not, how about some inexpensive
hotels? I'm going to try the hotels that came with my SIGGRAPH packet,
but any others tips (Econo-lodge, etc...) would be welcome.
Additional note: the closer to the Dallas Convention Center, the
better.

I'm a poor student from Ireland looking for somewhere cheaper to stay in Dallas for SIGGRAPH than the $50-a-night quoted in the conference registration docs. Am I dreaming here? What about youth hostels or campus dorms or something? I'm not too fussy, just as long as I don't wake up with a knife in my back. Anyone maybe want to share a twin room? That cuts the price in half, as far as I can see from the conference docs. Jonathan Rice Computer Science Dept., Trinity College Dublin.

I attended a convention at the same location late last year. There is not much in the way of cheap hotels downtown. Some students pooled resources to rent a car and stayed outside downtown. There is a usable bus system, but not of European quality. Downtown Dallas almost completely closes down at 6PM except for a yuppie strip called West Alley. The homeless street people come out at night and are numerous and aggressive.

Well, you can get a single with a queen-size bed for around $50 and be within walking distance of SIGGRAPH. How many people can you fit in that room? :-) -- J.
