I have a temple interview coming up and I was wondering a few things...
How did NYC folks get there?
How easy is the public transportation to follow?
Did you stay overnight? And if so, where???
thanks for any input....

ChinaTown Bus - 10 bucks each way.
My drexel & Temple interviews were back to back; Public Transportation is easy to follow - I rode the Drexel Bus to downtown Philly for my temple interview.

I stayed at the Wyndam @ downtown philly - 50 bucks/night.

I took the Amtrak train from Penn Station, which is more expensive than the Chinatown bus, so you'd be better off taking the bus. From the train station it's about a 10 minute cab ride. Not too bad.

I didn't stay there overnight so I can't help you out there.

One thing about their interviews is that they are very, very short. My interview lasted about 20-25 minutes and there is a guy there who is known (by students and staff alike) to give 10 minute interviews. No stress questions though. Very relaxing, getting to know you interview. They also replied pretty quickly. I got my decision through email a week later!

Good luck!

You can also take NJ transit, its much cheaper than Amtrak. Penn Station - Trenton. Trenton - Philly. I think its like 16 bucks or something each way.

They're fast. I heard back for an interview few days after submission and less then 2 weeks for a decision.
