Ursinus College:
Wismer Parents' Lounge

From 422 take the Collegeville/Phoenixville exit (also the exit for 29) and go toward Collegeville (right off the exit ramp if you are coming from KOP, left off the exit ramp if you are coming from Pottstown). Take 29 for several miles to the intersection with Ridge Pike (there is a T intersection with a McDonalds on one corner) and turn left. Go perhaps a mile and Ursinus will be on your right. (For those that know the area you can take Ridge Pike and look for the entrance to the campus.) There is a large green space (think melee field!) in the center front of the campus - on the south side of it there is a small side street (no light or anything). Turn down that side street - the open area should be on your left and you should have buildings on your right. This road will take a sharp right and you will see a parking area on your right. (This parking area extends behind and around several of the buildings that you just drove by.) Find a place to park. This is a visitor lot, so your car will not be ticketed or towed.

From the parking area you will walk back toward campus (back in the direction where the street made the sharp right). We will be in a room in the dining hall (Wismer), which if you stay on the wide sidewalk you will walk right to, it's the first thing on the right (not counting the dorm, which isn't right by the path anyway).

We have the room just inside the dining hall on the left (Wismer Parents' Lounge).
