Tentative Agenda

Travel
Please book your air transport to the Indianapolis, Indiana International Airport (IND). Plan to arrive on August 8th (if attending Python tutorial) or on August 9th (if skipping optional Python tutorial) and depart in the evening of August 15th, or the morning of August 16th. Please send us your complete travel information (flight numbers, dates and times) as soon as possible.
The Indianapolis airport is approximately 60 minutes from Bloomington. Scheduled ground transport to Bloomington is available through Bloomington Shuttle (http://www.bloomingtonshuttle.com/airport.html) or Star of America (http://www.charterstaramerica.com/shuttles/book.htm). The shuttle rates are approximately $40 for a round trip fare, and can be pre-purchased online (only 15 days in advance) or at a kiosk (located at the airport and at the IU Memorial Union) with US currency or a major credit card. Schedule your drop off and pick up (when returning to the airport) to be at location that is the closest to the hotel you booked. Feel free to contact us for assistance. For those arriving outside the hours of operation of the shuttles, we can help you arrange a shared limo transport; however, prices are significantly higher than the shuttles, so please keep this in mind as your purchase your airfare. Taxis and car rentals are also available at the airport; please check fees before booking as these are generally higher priced options than the shuttle.
WARNING: Bloomington, Indiana does not have a commercial airport. If you book a ticket to “Bloomington,” you will find yourself in Bloomington, Illinois, about 500 km away from Indiana University. Please be sure to book your ticket to Indianapolis (IND).

Wait times vary by embassy and time of year; the information is updated weekly. Please check here : http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/general/wait-times.html/ Please note: Additional time beyond the guidelines above is needed for visa applicants applying at some embassies, due to the time required to schedule an interview appointment. Additionally, the interview wait times do not include time for required security clearances or administrative processing, which may take place after the interview and may extend beyond the general timeframe guidelines. International visitors to the U.S. from Visa Waiver Program countries are now required to apply for travel authorization online.
