I know there is a hotel called W exactly a block from campus, but it can get kind of pricey. If you want to go directly from the airport, I suggest you take the FLYAWAY shuttle from LAX to UCLA-Westwood which is $5 per trip and it comes every half an hour. (better than paying $30 something not factoring in traffic...). The shuttle stops in front of the UCLA's Kinross Building in Westwood. If you go across the street, there is a UCLA campus shuttle that takes you directly to the main campus and it's free for everyone. I don't know which department you will be visiting, but if you can check out which building it is in beforehand, you can just ask the shuttle driver or any students where is the closest stop. UCLA has a beautiful campus and I hope you have a great time visiting...

the visit is scheduled for this coming Thursday and Friday, so it will be a last minute cancellation. The airfare is about $400 round trip and nonrefundable according to the airline policy--that's an amount I cannot really afford to lose right now. At the same time, if I end up canceling, I also want to make sure that it's not going to hurt me in the future because from what I've heard, schools communicate with each other.

I was invited by one school to attend their interview/visit weekend with all travel expenses covered by the department. The school was somewhere in the middle of my list. I recently got an acceptance with funding from one of my top choices and now I know for sure I am not going to attend the other school. I am thinking about canceling my visit to the other school and let them know that I am going to accept the offer from another school. Is it rude to cancel when the school is paying for everything? I'm worried that the school is going to make me pay them back for the airfare and hotel. My friend said I should just go anyway, but I don't really want to waste my time visiting school I know I won't attend. Any inputs will be very much appreciated....
