<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I have two quick questions about the college interview. My guy has asked me to meet him in a pretty nice restaurant. My questions are, Do I pay? and Do my parents come with me? Any other views on this would be great too. Thanks</p>
<p>Generally the parents would not be there for the interview, but might be invited to join the discussion/ask questions after the interview is over. As to who pays, can you ask via phone or email? I wouldn't expect you to have to buy dinner, or have the interviewer buy dinner. Maybe a cup of coffee.</p>
<p>split the bill?</p>
<p>ask if you're just meeting for coffee. It seems a little unusual to meet at an expensive restaurant for a college interview, and since the interviewer suggested this its almost like they're forcing you to spend the money (I doubt many interviewers are willing to foot the bill for nice dinners for a bunch of interviewees).</p>
<p>I am pretty sure it is just for coffee, so it wont be too much money. I just didnt want to seem rude by paying the bill or something.</p>
<p>I'd suggest confirming by email or phone that it's just coffee. And it's polite to offer to pay for your own coffee or soft drink; you don't need to insist if the interviewer demurs, but you should at least offer.</p>
