Recruitment Weekend Etiquette

Recommended Posts

Is it rude or uncommon to not go to a recruitment weekend (after being accepted)? I am not sure that I can make it to a few because of date conflicts but do not want to be the only one who misses it or have it come off as me being ungrateful for the invitation. 

Also, I thought I saw a thread on here somewhere with recruitment weekend dates for sociology programs but can't seem to find it now. Can anyone help me get to that?

It is fine to not go, but going can be very helpful in deciding where you want to get your PhD if you have been accepted to multiple schools. With that said, if you already know you are not going to seriously consider a program, it is better to decline than to attend a recruitment weekend only to make it clear while there that you have a better offer that you are already planning to take.
