Your interviewers want to know why you applied to their program in particular. They are hoping to hear a genuine answer that shows you've taken the time to research their program and faculty.

Research the curriculum, the faculty, and where past fellows have gone post-fellowship before your interview. Pick out the features and benefits of the program you are interviewing with that appeal the most to you. Rather than talking about a simple convenience like location, give your answer some substance to show you are truly interested in joining this fellowship program. That being said, if you have family or connections in the area, it is okay to mention that too!

"Your program is the complete package--and I researched a lot of programs! You have a world-class faculty that I'd be honored to train under for the next three years. For instance, Dr. Hill's research on XYZ is exciting, and I would love the opportunity to be involved in that project. I also love that some of your past fellows have gone on to become distinguished and well-funded researchers, which is in line with my own career goals."
