I did not choose any of my college choices based on distance from home; however, all of them ended up between a 9-hour drive and a two-day drive away from home. Several of these require interveiws and my school prefers during college counseling that all interviews are done in person, and I agree with this philosophy.

The title of my thread pretty much is my question: when you are interviewing around the country, what tricks of the trade do you follow? Does staying in a hotel an hour or so away from a college save a lot of money? Because interviews are done during the week, are there weekday nights that one can stay over between flights and save money (like one can on Saturday)? Is it cheaper to at at McDonalds for two days instead of the uni cafeteria? What have you learned?
