What impressed you positively?

The library seems new, meanwhile the gross labs are brand-new (used for the first time last semester). It is a state school so it is inexpensive; after your first year an out-of-stater can apply for residency and pay in-state-tuition. The curriculum for first years is awesome- only 2-3 classes at a time. Also, the commute from anywhere you live on campus is very quick. It is a very compact campus.

What impressed you negatively?

The snow and location. It is approximately in the middle of the state and kind of far from my home. The only other thing, was it bothered me a bit that one of my interviewers asked about my applications and other interviews, etc.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Just to dress warm.

What are your general comments?

I thought the facilities were impressive- clean and new. The students seemed happy and non-competative. The area seemed very accessible and easy to have a car there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
