Haifa Central (a.k.a Haifa Merkaz) is near the Tiltan college, which is the venue of the Wednesday evening party.
It is the third station in Haifa, after Hof HaCarmel and Bat-Galim.
Go to Haifa Central/Merkaz in these two cases:
1. You arrive to Haifa on Wednesday between 19:00 until 22:00. (The ride takes slightly more than an hour.) In this case you shouldn't take any taxi from the airport.
2. You stay in Nof or Dan Panorama, arrive to Haifa before 21:30 and you're are ready to walk a little from the train station to the Carmelit subway station. Carmelit works until 22:00.

There are better ways to do it, please see the information on http://wikimania2011.wikimedia.org/wiki/In_Haifa_-_getting_to_the_Venue
there is no reason to try to reinvent the routes all over again.
As we wrote in the automated mail, unless you wish to go directly to the party on Wednesday evening, the best train station to disembark is Hof HaCarmel (I don't know what Haifa Central is - as there are 4 different stations in Haifa) and taking a bus or a taxi from there, without the Carmelit.
Local bus ticket costs NIS 6.40 nowadays (USD 1.90).

Really good point!
Let me make it sure, it means one can reach:
- Haifa Central by train (38.5 NIS if you start from TLV?)
- then Paris Sq. by walk
- then Gan Ha Em by Karmelit (Metro) 6.2 NIS*
- then Dorms/Haifa Univ. by bus No. 37 (and more other route?) 6.2 NIS
Right?
- Not sure if it's correct, my guidebook says so anyway.
Cheers,

airport to the dorm and it is around 16.30 EUR (otherwise, it is slightly more expensive, ~85 ILS ~ 17.30 EUR).
"otherwise" means train to Haifa, then taxi to hotel/dorm.
But when you take public transport from Haifa train station it is much cheaper.
It is 38.5 NIS for train + 6 NIS for metro in Haifa...
Good point!
