Hello all.
So I'm trying to plan my visit for my interview and I've been informed that graduate students have offered for us to stay with them for 1 night. With the interview being all day on a friday I'm obviously going to be arriving thursday and leaving saturday, which would mean for another night I would need a hotel(prob. thursday night), which then causes the awkward situation of having to bring my luggage with me to the school on interview day after checking out of the hotel if I was going to stay with a student the next night. I've gone through the interview processes before, one school put us up in a hotel and with the other I stayed with a student, so I'm aware of the opportunities staying with a student provide(more face time, a chance for candid conversation about the program, etc.), but I have a feeling in this instance just getting a hotel for both nights might make life easier and less stressful, but I wouldn't want to do anything that might make me seem disconnected from the process or ungrateful to the offer. thoughts? suggestions?
