What impressed you positively?
Really excited students and a cool town. Really great faculty.
What impressed you negatively?
One interviewer was staring at the ceiling while I responded to a question. That's about as bad as it got.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the pizza mixer had all of the parents and students from that weekend in one room where it was a question answer session and the associate dean oversaw the whole thing.
What are your general comments?
I'm an odd ball because at the time of my interview I was uncertain how I felt about k-state. I had a really odd gut feeling at the time I couldn't describe as good or bad partially do to other things that were going on at the time. Now I'm a student here and it is a great school. The student body is great and just at K-state in general I've never been around so many people with so much school spirit. People from big cities may not like the small town feel but for me K-state is a great fit. Just stay relaxed and be yourself in your interview and you shouldnt have a problem.
