I never looked into it, but I doubt Drexel has dorm space.  They're in
session all year.  Temple is right out -- that's the last place I want
to invite 300 out of town guests.

One question that we fail to ask every year at the town hall is how many
people would attend and stay at a hotel if the dorms weren't available.
If TPF can clarify that issue, then perhaps the lack of dorms in Philly
isn't a dealbreaker after all.
