"前一晚到,住在面试地点的附近" You do not want to drive 3 hours and start an interview right after travel. Often times, you need to look fresh but not in rush and sweaty. Even if they don't pay for your hotel, if you take the job interview seriously, you should do that. Do a hair cut and dress professionally. I believe a lot of faculity members are 外貌协会会员.
