Didn't.

What impressed you positively?

The fourth year students had a lot of positive things to say about the school and encouraged everyone to come.

What impressed you negatively?

We didn't get to meet any first or second year students. The whole town and school shut down at the first hint of snow. Our financial aid talk was cancelled as a result.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How far from the school the Holiday Inn is. DO NOT stay at the Holiday Inn on Emmett St. It is about an $8 cab ride from the school and the restaurant in the lobby is terrible. There aren't any restaurants nearby unless you have a car. The hotel also didn't provide a shuttle back to the airport, which was a $20 cab ride.

What are your general comments?

The tour guides were very informative and enthusiastic about the college. The interviewers were friendly and pumped up the school as well. We were given lunch which was also top notch. Interviews were pretty laid back, low-stress.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
