Somebody clarify OCI location Forum

[Anonymous User]

What is this talk I hear about OCI interviews happening at hotels?? My locations just say room #s....that does mean..AT my school...correct?

I doubt anyone here can confirm your OCI location, but a quick call to career services might do the trick.

The above is completely correct, but: large elite schools with a gazillion employers coming to OCI, and also a lot of out-of-state employers flying in to interview, use hotels because they couldn't fit all the employers into the school space and they have hospitality suites and so on. Schools with, let's say, less robust OCIs (like mine where all the employers were local in a small market) can hold them on campus because the pool is smaller (and then no one has to pay for hotels).

A lot of the "elite" schools as you put it actually have designated interview rooms on campus. Most T14 do recruiting on campus. Some T30ish schools do them in hotels because their facilities aren't conducive to interview at

Okay, some schools of whatever variety hold their OCI in hotels rather than on-campus. OP, I think if the location were off-campus you'd have been told that directly.
