They don't pay for the , in past years though they reserved a bunch of rooms at a specific hotel so you would get a special rate (a previous 1L told me). Their website for admitted students talks about the reserved hotel rooms as well though it doesn't mention what kind of discount you're looking at

[DoYouEvenTLS]

Indiana U - Bloomington: $500 for those located 25+ miles away from Bloomington (covers hotel, airfare, and shuttle from airport)

[ayylmao]

Great idea for a thread.

Stanford: $400 for round-trip airfare if coming from out of California, $200 if within CA. Up to $29 for transportation from airport to campus.

[raeofsunshine]

Tulane: $250 for any of the ASD weekends as well as blocked off hotel rooms with a reduced rate.

[airwrecka]

Berkeley: $150 for travel if coming from within CA, $300 if coming from outside of CA

I asked them, they said the hotel will be $20 a night and they MAY extend flight subsidies they haven't decided yet I guess.

BU: $300, travel or accommodations.

Got it ! Thanks for finding that out. Would be odd if they didn't do flight subsidies, almost all other schools do.

I was thinking the same thing. Although a cheap hotel room is really nice. I'm spending more on my hotel in Berkeley than I did on the plane ticket

Stanford is a bit better with that. It's ridiculous though, they should for sure pay for this type of stuff. I mean how else are we supposed to go see these schools...

Anyone know about stipends for WUSTL? I'm within driving distance, but a hotel stipend would be nice - they aren't crazy expensive, but I'm trying to save that $$$$$.

Yah I asked them the same about flights, wish they would cover some of the cost but oh well. They did mention to me that there's tons of free food opportunities while you're there so that's pretty much checked off .

Last year they offered to put me up

[big_willy_style_333]

Just trying to confirm, are these standard across all admitted students for a given school? Or do more desirable applicants receive preferential treatment?

I emailed them and they got back to me within a week or so saying I had been approved for a $250 stipend and would be reimbursed 2-3 weeks after my visit if I provided receipts and filled out some paperwork. FWIW I'm from the west coast.

if I recall, it sounded like they were going to book the room for me. I stayed with a friend in Clayton, though, so I didn't go any further than to just thank them for the offer.

Berkeley: $150 for travel if coming from within CA, $300 if coming from outside of CA

Thanks for sharing. I'm assuming we just need to provide travel receipts?

[hellohalo]

Do they reimburse us regardless of if we attend the schools?

[Mackgal]

If they gave you an offer or admission then yes. The whole point of the admitted student days is to try to sell you on attending their school, they realize pretty much everyone has applied and been accepted to other schools
