Thanks for the advice. I am definitely going to be "backpacking" it. I realize that I should've planned this earlier but I just recently very fortunately fell into the position (as a law student) to have the time and money to go the 2nd half of the summer.
Thus, student fairs are an option but I have yet to find a deal from a student based website that could beat any of the others.
I guess I will just keep checking and figure out the most economical (price and time traveling) option.
Thanks and if anyone else has advice - it is much appreciated.
