So, I've received two nice offers already (and expect more), and each have offered to fund a visit to see their campus/department and city, including hotel and meals (in addition to transportation--one of which will require airfare), which is very nice I think.
My problem is that they've all been so nice, I know I'm going to feel guilty declining offers from any school that pays me to visit them.. I mean, I guess they know that students might decline, but still... I can't help but feel I"m taking advantage of the department's or something.. to be fair I really haven't made any decisions, and the feeling I get from a visit quite possibly could influence my decision.
But, especially at one school I've been messaging back and forth with the department secretary/graduate admissions assistant in a conversational manner (she's cool seeming) and I just would/will(?) feel so bad for telling them 'no' eventually..
Any thoughts?
