What impressed you positively?
Everyone from students, faculty, to staff seems to love going to this school. They were all very welcoming and friendly. It is a nice small campus with amazing facilities in regards to labs, lecture halls, and student life. Everything seems so fresh and new. The faculty seems to be there with a sole focus on teaching students as opposed to some of the large institutions were research is the main focus. The Dean of the college was very nice and willing to answer questions. All in all it seems like a great place to learn. I hope I get in.
What impressed you negatively?
The price, the geese
What are your general comments?
Showed up at around 8am, was brought into a room with other students. Admissions spoke for a while and took a writing sample. The Dean spoke. We were split up into groups lead by the department chairs. We introduced ourselves and we got our questions answered. Met back in a big group and talking about financial aid and student life. Short tour led by current second year students...it was optional.
