What are your general comments?

My overall experience was very positive. The day started at 8am and my interview was at 1:30pm. We met with different staff and students throughout the morning. It sounded to me that if you get an interview they are very interested in you. If it feels like a "good fit" you are in. I have been accepted and I'm planning on attending DMU. I felt it was the right place for me. The whole day really convinced me.
