Since I live in the Philadelphia area, can I spend the evenings before classes (Thursday and/or Fridays) at home rather than on campus?
An important part of EMTM is interaction with other students in study groups and informally. Students often learn as much from each other as they do from their coursework. The evenings before classes are key to this interaction, which initiates a lifelong professional network. For these reasons, staying on campus is essential and hotel charges are never waived. They are part of the program fee.
