interview trip(UIUC PURDUE OHIO UM)

[ahsing911]

請教各位前輩
我若想安排一個interview trip
從UIUC 到 PURDUE 再到 OHIO 最後再到UM的話

請問最好的行程規劃為何

原先我是想做到CHICAGO機場 再座巴士 到UIUC 結束後 都靠灰狗巴士到下個目的地
這樣可以嗎
或是還有更好的方法
另外還有什麼要注意的?

請給小弟我一點建議

Why not rent a car at O'hare airport? and plan your route on Google earth or Mapquest.
When you get off grayhound, you might find it difficult to get to the campus you planned, especially those schools are not at big cities and are snowing.

One question. UM this year changes its interview policy to be by invitation. Have you confirmed with the admission office the availability of on-campus interview? :)

我贊成 Will 的意見。

灰狗不但有班次限制，有時不一定直達，
可能要繞來繞去進市區等等，
而且機場不一定有巴士站，最重要的是很可能不會到學校門口。

我覺得單程的租車是最好的方法，尤其有預算限制的話，
只是沒辦法在巴士上休息。
不過冬天開車要小心一點點，有時有點滑

As I recall, those schools are only 3~4 hours apart. be careful to the snow though.
you can rent at Chicago and return it at the same location. Don't have to drop-off at different location. It costs too much.
And, get a International Driver's license first.
