Hi Dav, UIUC might be a good option here. Our campus is pretty empty over the summer, so there's plenty of classroom and hotel/dorm space over the summer. Would be happy to help coordinate. Even if you have to be in a hotel, our housing is really cheap.
You can contact me about this at my wick...@illinois.edu email address.
