What impressed you positively?

They were sooooo nice. Everyone made me feel welcome and they really put in a lot of effort to show you what queen's is like. Queen's is by a lake so it's beautiful. They had a hilarious video and the program seems really good. It definitely won me over.

What impressed you negatively?

How small kingston is. there's really only one main street and the queen's campus is really small.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

lots of one way streets at queen's. beware when you're driving.

What are your general comments?

My interview experience was excellent. I really felt the interviewers were trying to get to know me. They usually asked follow-up questions and really tried to ask questions about my CV. They are the nicest out of the 3 schools I've interviewed at and they were very responsive to my answers.
