In an emergency, calls can also be put through to the St. John's switchboard: (505) 984-6000.  You can purchase long-distance calling cards in the campus bookstore.  There are also pay phones on campus.<br/> 


'''CELL PHONES:'''<br/>  Both St. John's College and the Santa Fe Institute are located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Because of the terrain, cell phone coverage may be spotty, inconsistent, or unavailable.  


'''ATHLETIC FACILITIES'''<br> All students staying on campus will have free access to St. John's Student Activity Center, using your St. John's College ID/meal card.  There limited hours in the summer. For more information please see their website at http://conferenceservices.sjcsf.edu/cnfserv16.htm.  Santa Fe is also known for wonderful hiking trails and an active outdoor culture.


'''COMPUTER FACILITIES:''' <br/> 
The CSSS will have a small computer lab available for use by the students and faculty.  We will provide a network printer, a Linux server with the usual unix software and Matlab, Swarm, Repast, StarLogo and NetLogo, as well as compilers for C, C++, and Fortran.  There will be 3 iMacs with the usual Office productivity software and Adobe products, usable for either windows or Mac users.  Wireless access is available in the coffee shop of Peterson Student Center and the Evans Science Lab building, where the physics lab is located.  Due to the limited computational resources, participants are encouraged to bring their laptops, which can be configured to be part of the summer school network.  If you anticipate any special computing needs, please contact SFI's computing department (computing@santafe.edu).<br/> 

'''There is limited wifi access in the Peterson Student Center where lectures will take place. Internet access at the SFI main campus will be limited to guest access on local machines.'''

The dorm rooms have both Ethernet and phone jacks.  VOIP services such as Skype do not work well at St. John’s College due to limited bandwidth. Long distance phone cards are available for purchase at the bookstore.<br/> 

'''IMPORTANT:  You must bring any Ethernet cards, 10/100 BaseT Ethernet cables, adapters, etc. to connect your laptop to the local network in the dorms.  We do not supply networking cables for use in the dorm rooms.  You must bring with you any power converters or plug adapters to plug your computer into the 120V outlets in the United States.  We do not supply foreign power converters.  If your University back home requires the use of "Side Car" or other forms of security authentication software, you may not be able to log into your computer at home from the summer school.  The St. John's College network is behind a NAT firewall, preventing some of these programs from working.  As a result, if you have data back home you want to use at the summer school, the safest thing is to bring it on a CD or on your laptop computer.'''<br> <br>

'''INTERNET SECURITY ISSUES:'''

St. John's College has a NAT firewall installed, which limits the use of BitTorrent, and other peer to peer networking programs. <br>
