SAJA couch program for students [the deadline for this has passed]
Every year a handful of SAJA members volunteer their couches and spare bedrooms during the convention. This service will be limited to out-of-town students, because of the limited number of spaces available.
If you are a student and would like a couch, please email with the subject line: COUCH WANTED: July XX to July YY
If you are a N.Y.-based SAJA member and would like to volunteer a couch, please email with the following subject line: COUCH AVAILABLE: July XX to July YY; can host XX person/people
Requests will be processed on a first come, first served basis and as long as we have spaces available, so please get in touch sooner rather than latter.

AIRPORT TIP: Of the three airports, LGA is the closest to Columbia (25 minutes and $25 by taxi -- depending on the traffic; and about $1.50 and 1.5 hours by public bus, the M60. NWK and JFK are further than LGA is, but are roughly equidistant from Columbia. You basically can't go wrong with any of the three.
