⭐ Overall Impressions

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

1 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

The admission office opened at 8am, continental breakfast was nice but not tempting since the interviews start early. While waiting for our interview we were recommended to sit in on a first year lecture. Students and staffs were very friendly. Even the applicants were pleasant. It takes some time to adapt to the interviewer, so the session had gone by rather quickly. The tour of facilities followed, then lunch at the cafeteria. A good overall experience.
