NOTE: Students, the term “pre-registereds is used to indicate students who have signed up for these optional activities during the application process at Baylor prior to the seminar.  Some of the slots are limited for these activities (Ferrari/Lamborghini car rentals, for an example) and will be allocated on a first come-first serve basis.  This does not preclude any participant from participating in these activities once “on the ground” in Europe (for example, seating for London plays is typically available on a last-minute basis), but pre-registering ensures both the availability of the activity and choice seating or alternatives.
