hey, i stayed here http://www.fwholiday.com/ its a pretty nice place. however, no free breakfast... but they offer you a deal if you tell them you are there for an interview at PCO. if you stay there, leave plenty early (at least an hour) b/c with a bit of construction and the traffic, you never know how long it will take. without traffic its a 10 minute drive. the morning of the interview it took me 35-40. i'm sure there are closer hotels, but this one was pretty good for the money. good luck!

There was traffic? I'm surprised, only because I drove out there the morning of my interview (I had a 3.5 hour drive, according to mapquest) and it took me only 3 hours, and I had no traffic even when I was on the roads close to the school. Maybe that was because I was early, though, and so a little before you were probably trying to get there? I don't know, I guess it's a toss up.

great thanks soo much guys! and how did u guys get around in PA.. are the good public transportations or did u guys rent a car or sumthin?

thanks guys!!

I live in PA so I had my car. Everyone else on my interview day had driven from home except one person who rented a car. The public transportation directions look really complicated.

Thanks so much for replying JACKCM! Since you live in PA maybe you can help me out with this too... I went on PCO's website for nearby hotels that they suggested and I was wondering if those they suggested are by Philadelphia too (or at least the sightseeing places cuz I'm going to be staying there for a couple extra days just to tour and I wanted to stay at a hotel where it's kinda close to the sight-seeing places like historic stuff and what not).

 

[JackCM]

Well I don't know that area too much, as I do live a good 3 hours away from there, but as far as I know Philly is easy to get around via public transportation. I would call the hotel and just ask them how easy it is to get to the city and do some sight seeing.

I stayed at the Hampton Inn in Willow Grove. Its on the same road as the school about 4 miles north. I rented a car from Enterprise at the airport for 35 dollars for 24 hours. It was nice to be able to explore a little.
