I'm going to book my ticket this weekend, but I'm not sure about which hotel yet.

How much is your ticket going to cost you?

Wow. Yeah, mine's around $430. I'm trying to not even think about hotel costs. Where are you flying from?

Definitely going. Flight booked from Norcal ($250 r/t on Southwest) and two nights at Hotel Modera ($109/night with voucher). Really excited to see the city and campus.

Booked the flight....there goes the entire stipend. But I'll probably stay at Modera. My only issue is I have an event that I really can't miss on Saturday, so I'm flying out on a red-eye Friday night.

Hopefully Modera has a concierge service where I can drop off my one piece of luggage between checkout and returning from the Visit Day.

The stipend isn't conditional on enrolling, is it?

$400. I forget when I got the notice about it, but I'm pretty sure it came with the preview info.

The stipend was only offered to some people. If you were offered one it was on a piece of paper included in the admissions packet.

At that point, how about people should get together and split one of the hotel rooms. $109/night divided by 3? Not that much more than a hostel.

i use kayak. i was mostly wondering if the prices would continually rise or if there would possibly be a slight fall, but the general internet consensus seems to be they will continue to rise. basically, i made a $200 mistake :(

I was referring to the buying them at the beginning of the week discussion. It'll save you at least some money.
