Housing and conference site fees are based on a 2002 Smith College (Northampton, Massachusetts) estimate including an administrative fee of 20%. (Other colleges such as Dartmouth sent us similarly priced budgets. We tend to favor Smith right now since it is more easily accessible from major airports.) The final total includes a rough estimate of price increase between 2002 and 2004 and other uncertainties (15%).
