We are pleased to invite LICS attendees to reside on the seaside campus of UCSB. On-campus accommodations will be available on a first request basis; therefore, early registrations and reservations are essential.

UCSB Residence Halls and Dining Facilities are located within a 5-10 minute walk from the session meeting rooms and from the beach. Residence Hall accommodations are either single or double occupancy, with single rooms reserved on a first request basis. There are no rooms with private restrooms; restroom and shower facilities are located on each floor. Lodging includes beds made on arrival day and daily room service with washcloth and towel change. Unfortunately, there is no housing on campus for those with children. We would recommend a selection from one of the hotel blocks if you will be traveling with children. FREE UCSB Shuttle Service is provided from the Santa Barbara Airport and the Goleta Drop-off Site for the Santa Barbara Airbus for all attendees residing in the Residence Hall. More specific details are listed under the section "Getting To Santa Barbara."

A computer lab is also available in the Residence Hall so that you can access your e-mail. Hours of availability will be posted outside the lab. Knowing the type of e-mail server you have and the proper configuration parameters needed (e-mail address, userid, password, server name or address) are all essential to accessing your e-mail from the UCSB location. The computer lab provides standard Internet Services (Telnet, FTP, TN3207) and AOL.

The Housing Residential Network is also available for use in the privacy of your room. A Residential Network Coordinator will be accessible during the following days and times to offer assistance with any computer/network problems:

By air: Most people traveling by air will initially land at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), about 2.5 hours away from Santa Barbara. From there, you have the option to either fly to Santa Barbara, travel to Santa Barbara via the Santa Barbara Airbus or rent a car and drive to Santa Barbara.

Flying into Santa Barbara: A free UCSB Shuttle Bus will carry those participants staying at the University from the Santa Barbara Airport to their campus residence hall. You will receive the appropriate phone number to call to secure our UCSB Shuttle Bus upon arrival at the Santa Barbara Airport in your confirmation packet. At the end of the conference, the UCSB Shuttle Bus will take on campus participants back to the Santa Barbara Airport for their departure. Those staying in local hotels are responsible for their own transportation from the Airport to their individual hotel; some hotels provide this service so please check when reading the hotel descriptions. If your hotel does not provide this service, you may wish to try SuperRide Airport Shuttle, (805) 683-9636, which offers a local rate ranging from $9.00 - $18.00, depending on the location of your destination site in Santa Barbara. Reservations are strongly recommended.

Please remember that if you will be residing on campus at UCSB and will be using the Santa Barbara Airbus, make sure that your Drop-off site is in Goleta. That way our UCSB Shuttle Bus will be able to pick you up and bring you to campus. You will receive the appropriate number to call to secure our UCSB Shuttle Bus upon arrival at the Goleta Drop-off site in your confirmation packet. At the end of the conference, the UCSB Shuttle Bus will take on campus participants back to the Santa Barbara Airbus Goleta drop off site for their departure. Again, those staying in local hotels are responsible for their own transportation from the Santa Barbara Airbus Drop-off site to their individual hotel.

By Personal Vehicle: UCSB is easily accessible from US 101. From the South, take the UCSB/Highway 217 exit and identify yourself at the gate as a LICS attendee. If you are residing on campus you will be notified in your confirmation which Residence Hall you have been assigned and the gate can provide you with directions and a temporary parking permit. If you are residing off campus and will be driving to UCSB, please stop at the gate for directions as well. From the North, take the Storke Road/UCSB exit and drive south (toward the ocean) to a "T" junction with El Colegio Road. Turn left onto El Colegio Road and ask for directions at the University gate.

By Train: Santa Barbara is served by Amtrak Train Service. The Amtrak terminal is located in downtown Santa Barbara as well as in Goleta. From there, you may reach the campus or your hotel by SuperRide Shuttle or taxi only. Note: The UCSB Campus Shuttle cannot pick you up from the train station if you are residing on campus.

The city of Santa Barbara, founded by the Spanish in the 18^th century, is considered to be one of the jewels of the California coast. It lies approximately 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles, nestled against the Santa Ynez Mountains overlooking the Pacific Ocean. In June, the days are warm (70° F) and the nights are cool (50° F) with occasional morning fog. Nearby are many excellent ocean beaches, lakes, forests and mountains with varied hiking trails. Daily excursions can be made to the Hearst Castle, the flower fields of Lompoc and the Old World Village of Solvang. In Santa Barbara you can visit the Mission, our famous Court House or the Botanical Gardens.
