So I tried looking for threads on this on SDN but the posts seemed like they were geared for MD-only students who had to shell out money for a hotel room.
In my case, I have received multiple MD/PhD interview invites . Some of them have offered me the choice of staying with a student host or a hotel which they will pay for.
Would it be bad to choose the hotel?
I much prefer staying a hotel as it will give me privacy, which I think I need for health and personal reasons. I know I am just more comfortable that way staying in a room all by myself. I also prefer having access to a continental breakfast and a fitness facility, which allows me to destress in the morning.
I'm just concerned if it looks bad, since a) I won't be staying with a student and b) I'll be making the program pay out money to host me.
Any advice? How does this look to Adcoms if I prefer the hotel?
