Take Exit 68 off Rte. 84, and turn RIGHT at the end of the exit. This is Rte. 195 SOUTH, towards MANSFIELD. Follow Rte. 195 for about 7 miles and you will come to the UConn campus.
As you enter the campus from the North there are dorms on your right and a large agricultural field on your left. At the bottom of the hill turn RIGHT at the lights, onto North Eagleville Road (there is a white-steeple church on your right at the corner). Follow North Eagleville Road and turn LEFT at the second set of lights and follow signs to park in the North Parking Garage on your left. The Physics building is the large building on the corner opposite the parking garage. Conference registration is on the ground floor of the Physics Building.
