flying from Europe to Ivy League University just for a conference?

[dunnowhatdo]

Dear all,

I'm an european student in the humanities and I got my paper accepted at  a conference at an Ivy League University which is very famous. I was surprised to be accepted and now I have one week to decide if I will fly from Europe just for that conference in September or if I should simply decline the invitation.  My institution can not almost certainly provide fundings for the cost of the travel and the hosting instituion might be able to offer some fundings but there is no certainity.

 

I would like to ask if it's worth the trip/time/cost to take part to a conference in the U.S just to put on your cv this, besides the scientifc advantages of the conference in itself.
