What impressed you positively?

Culture of the school on top of the great board scores/residency placements, everyone was very friendly

What impressed you negatively?

Almost nothing, I suppose rent would be a little high (for Iowa which isn't saying much) in that area of town

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How relaxed the interview was. Even though it was 3 people (2 faulty, 1 student) to me, everyone was very friendly,

What are your general comments?

This was a great experience and I left the interview/school in such a great mood. I feel like DMU cares about you as a potential student rather than most schools only caring after you are accepted and are paying them.
