I got an interview coming up in a few weeks and was hoping someone could give me some insight on traveling from the airport over to the school/hotels nearby. Im going to be getting in at ~11 so i dunno how great it would be to take the subway over. anyone have an idea of how much a cab would run?

I stayed at the Best Western and it cost me $10 from the airport to there on the Lady Liberty (make sure you bring cash because I got my credit card number stolen!). From Best Western to the school I took a cab because I was nervous I wouldn't make it in time and it cost me $15. At least 4 people showed up late so if you wanted to take the subway I'm sure you could figure it out but I didn't want to risk it. My flight was really soon after the interview ended so again, I didn't want to waste time so I took a cab from the school to the airport which cost about $48 including a tip. Taking the subway didn't seem that hard but I didn't want to take a wrong connection and miss my flight so if you have time to take the subway, it'll be a lot cheaper. Message me if you have any questions!

The interview actually ended at 2 and my flight was at 3:40pm I think and I made it with plenty of time although I did take a taxi just to be safe. If you're concerned about catching your flight just mention it to Brian or Jeremy and they'll interview you earlier.

Yea there's a service desk I think in terminal C and you dial 27 and tell them where you need to be picked up at. There should be someone at the desk to help you incase you are confused. When I was on Lady Liberty they dropped lots of students off that lived on the UPenn campus so I'm sure if you needed a ride to somewhere near there they'd drop you off, its actually probably preferred. Call as early as possible to get a ride from the Lady Liberty back to the airport. I called at 7:30am and they told me they start taking requests or whatever at 8 but I couldn't call at this time because of the interview and when I called back at 1:30pm they couldn't pick me up because it was too late and in the end I just took a cab.
