Re: Boilermaker Regional site
Robochick -

I'd be happy to tell you a bit about the area. First of all, I'm very sad to tell you that we have VERY low temperatures right now (30s & 40s) after a short warm phase earlier this week. Bring warm clothing, especially because you have to wait outside the armory in the morning.

There are a lot of places near campus to go eat, most of them within 5-10 minutes walking, and there is also food in the Armory itself. If you ever need a food recommendation, there are various areas around, and also somebody from Purdue FIRST Programs or a veteran team will be happy to direct you. There is definitly food in the area though, and fairly affordable (Jimmy John's, McDonalds, Fazoli's, etc).

BMR has a lot of enrichment programs, mainly including tours of campus and various demos. I thought some of them would be totally over the top, but were actually really interesting. You may also want to discuss parking with anybody who's not coming on a bus.

Good luck!
