I just got my acceptance also. (I live about an hour from Rutgers, though, so I probably got it sooner than some might).

This will be my first time, since our son's college parent's weekend has been the same weekend every year, so I didn't apply for several years.

Does anyone know how competitive it is to get accepted to Rutgers?  (i.e. how many applicants there are?) And is the benefit worth the travel and expense?

Is there an "official" hotel where everyone is staying? Trying to figure out travel arrangements.  :motorhome
Hoping to meet fellow Blueboarders!

Last year a bunch of us stayed at the Hilton in east Brunswick and had dinner on Friday night. Jennifer Laughran joined us which was fun-

I got in too!  I'm so excited!   :yay. I can't wait to meet a lot of Bluboarders in person.  I read the boards daily but don't post too often.  I've heard fantastic things about the conference!

I'm around 2 1/2 hours away.  How many of you are coming Friday night?  I think I'd rather not rush that morning.  I'd love to meet some of you BlueBoarders for dinner! I'm going to check out the Hilton.

I'm flying from Ohio, so I'll be there Friday night.
Isn't the Heldrich the closest hotel to the conference site?

Hi all,

I'd be happy to make a dinner reservation somewhere for Friday night.  Last year, the restaurant at the Hilton let us have a semi-private room for the entire evening, and everyone just dropped in whenever they got to town.  It was fun!   :meeting

Should I check into it?  Or does anyone have another idea?

Wow, Sheri!  Sounds great!
Question: How far is the Hilton from the conference site?
Within walking distance?

Talked to the Hilton folks...looks like the conference is a short cab ride away.
I booked my room.  Looking forward to meeting Blueboarders for dinner Friday night.
Now off to search for flights. Anyone else flying from Ohio?

Awesome!  I'm at the Hilton, too.  I took a cab to the conference last year, and it was nice and easy.  (The front desk can arrange it ahead of time.) 

I'll call the restaurant later this week.  Let's get a list of people who would like to join us.  I'll put us both down, and I know of a couple others, too...

1. Sheri
2. Stephanie (stefwrites)
3. elisa
4. Andrea
5. eecoburn

Everyone is welcome, of course!  Just let me know if you're coming so I can make sure I reserve enough seats.
