Getting to New Haven
Flights/Airports.
There are a variety of airports you could fly into. We recommend Hartford
(BDL) which is a 45 minute drive from New Haven. Other options: New York - La
Guardia (80 minutes), New York - JFK (90 minutes), Providence (80 minutes),or New Haven -
Tweed (5 minutes - expensive!).
Getting from
airport to New Haven. From Hartford, La Guardia, or JFK we
recommend Connecticut
Limo if you do not want to rent a car. If you are travelling in a group, you
are likely to spend the same or less renting a car compared to taking the Limo. From
Tweed, take a cab. From Providence you will have to rent a car.
Renting
cars. You can do this trip without renting a car. The conference
events are in downtown New Haven or easily accessible with a short cab ride. Trips
to New York City can be made on the Metro ($22-28 round trip). If you would like to
explore the area or have extra flexibility, we recommend renting a car.

may find use for them for your specific destinations, but they will probably not be useful

Accomodations in New Haven
Fairfield
Inn. (400 Sargent Street, New Haven, 06510; 203-562-1111) We have
reserved a block of rooms in this hotel. Reserve them by mentioning the "Yale
Department of Psychology." The disadvantage of this hotel is that it is just
outside of the downtown area and not within walking distance to the conference.
Staying here will require a short drive or a cab ride to the conference.

229 George St., New Haven, 06510) This hotel is right in downtown New Haven.
Yale - 2 blocks, Train station - 4 blocks. Nice and affordable.
