I would request help from staff in THIS specific situation. Since you mention that it will likely be undergraduates, give them an opportunity to meet you, interact with, and learn from you. Great educational opportunity!
Also, you can interact with old friends without the complication of asking for help.
When I'm traveling, I tend to go by "you get what you pay for," so I look for services at my accommodations first, rather than friends or family, since I'm paying for it already. That said, most often those closest to me end up helping me.
Thank you Franke! Would you mind moving this comment to today's post? I think that's probably where you meant to leave it.

Really, though, I think both options are viable.
Hope you have a great time!!!!
