Good, I'll try to do some research and get some pricing breakdowns.  Do
you know of any inexpensive accommodations along there close to the
campus?  I know that in the venue requirements, they want to have some
inexpensive, dorm-style housing available.  They mention a hostel, and I
know that Houston has one, but I was going to try to find another
alternative as well.  I believe $55 for on-campus is the lowest rate
(besides the Hostel) for this year's YAPC.
