Very few schools offer regional interviews. Also, unlike my friends applying for jobs, you have to pay for all travel costs and the most the school gives you is lunch and the name of a student who is willing to host you. Nevertheless, there is a lot to be gained from going to the school and interviewing on site. You get to talk to students, see the area and facilities, and get a better overall impression of what goes on at the school. So, maybe its time to pick up an extra job to get some extra cash for interview expenses!
