Housing Information for BTMC Attendees
Check-In
For those of you staying at the Colburn residence hall, please plan to check in at the Colburn residence tower on Sunday, July 8th between 9 am and 2 pm. There will be a check-in table set up in the lobby of the Olive Building.
There will also be a mandatory housing orientation meeting at 2-3pm and lunch will be provided for all participants regardless of whether you're staying in the residence. **Late Arrivals may call the duty number for assistance at 213.621.4500.
Check-Out
The last day of classes will be Saturday, July 14th and the final class will end by 12pm. You will need to check out of your room at this time. The shuttle bus to the final party at Jim Walker's house will be leaving Colburn for this at 1pm and returning by 7:30pm approximately. You are welcome and encouraged to come to the party but it is not mandatory. The airport is not close to Jim's house unfortunately so if you need to catch a flight that day, it will be best to skip the party.

The Colburn Residence Hall rooms are 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, and 4-bedroom suites. There is a shared common area and bathroom in each suite, with a couch, table, cable-TV, sink, microwave, coffee maker, and mini-fridge. There are no dishes or utensils, however.

Safety
The Colburn School is a very secure campus, and we take extra measures to ensure the safety of all participants. Participants receive key cards at the beginning of the week that will grant them access to the dormitories and practice rooms. Anyone without a key is unable to access these areas. Colburn has an excellent security team with security cameras in the elevators and officers stationed at the lobby's front desk. During the week, an assistant will act as chaperone to accompany minors to dinner every evening. There are a number of restaurants within a 2 minute walk from campus and we have a detailed list of dining options within the radius, stipulated by the Colburn school, within which minors are permitted to go. Any participants under the age of 18 who choose to stay in the Colburn Residence will have required bed checks each night at 10 p.m., which are performed by Colburn's Residence Hall housing staff. If you are a minor who will be flying and need to be picked up at LAX, please include this in your email correspondence with jwmasterclass@gmail.com. Safety is a top priority for our staff and the Colburn facility.
