Hello! Moving daughter in for the last 2 weeks of summer intensive. Are we able to ship anything to the towers ahead of time? I know we can get delivery of groceries, etc the day of move in but wasn't sure before Sunday.
Also, it says there aren't trash cans in the rooms. Is that correct? The handbook says they inspect the room at move out for cleanliness. Is there a specific procedure for this? I understand about cleaning their room, etc., but I wasn't sure the expectations?
Have the rooms been cleaned in between students or do we need to bring serious cleaning supplies. Ha?! Thank you! Is there a contact at the towers that it would be better to ask these questions? The email addresses on the handbooks for Sam Stein and Gabi Ditto came back to me as undeliverable? I double checked and wondered if they had changed? THanks for assistance!

Hi there!
You can ship packages to the Towers, but be sure to include "IAMT Summer Intensive" as part of the address, since she doesn't have an official mailbox there. And I'd recommend your daughter connect with her roommates about bringing various essentials if she hasn't already - I believe she'll be joining some girls who are there for all 4 weeks, so they may have some things in place already. You may find it's easier to order a bedroom trashcan from Target same day delivery once you're here rather than ship one, for example. The rooms are cleaned professionally between students/programs, but they do need to be able to clean their bathrooms/kitchens while they are there - a container of clorox wipes might be all that is needed. I'm not sure why Sam and Gabi's emails have bounced back - they should be correct! Feel free to reach out to admissions@iamt-nyc.com for any other specific questions!
Thanks!
Hi,
My daughter is attending the first 2 weeks of the summer intensive 7/6-7/20. can you please clarify if there's a mandatory meeting prior or we can just arrive to NY 7/5 for the next day's start?
Also, do you have any recommendations for accommodation if daughter is not using IAMT housing.
Thanks
Hi!
If you're not staying in the dorms, you can just arrive to the Intensive for the first day of classes. The schedule will be finalized and posted in June, but usually classes will start at 10am and on the first day we usually have a welcome meeting that morning around 9:30am before starting dance placements. So if you plan on a 9am/9:15am arrival the first day you should be in good shape!
And if you're not using IAMT housing, you could consider checking out the Housing Channel on this Community board - that is where our full time students and alumni post for available summer sublets. Sometimes there are even full apartments available or multiple rooms in one apartment if a parent will be coming with their child. Other options in the area are The Edge Hotel is the closest - 5 blocks away, the Radio Hotel is just a bit further at 181st St. You could also or you could look at hotels slightly north of the city (Yonkers, Hastings, something off the Henry Hudson Parkway) or just over the GW Bridge in NJ (Fort Lee) if you will have a car with you. And of course, any hotel in NYC is also an option - we'd recommend something on the west side of Manhattan, though for the easiest commute.
