Save Money—Share a Room
Sharing a room is a great way to save money and make lasting friendships. A roommate request form will open with registration.
Sigma Tau Delta is not responsible for roommate compatibility. Attendees are responsible for their own reservations and expenses. We strongly recommend that roommates work out expense details in advance.
