What impressed you positively?

Students, faculty, and staff were VERY friendly and helpful and said many times that they were happy that we were interested in their school...it wasn't at all like they thought we were lucky to be there. Everyone was very encouraging and supportive and personable. The facilities are incredible. Everything was very relaxed. Everone was very inviting to family, friends, and significant others and there were tours that students could go on with these other

What impressed you negatively?

The interview process could be a little more personal but I think the fact that it is less personal lends itself to less stress on the applicants.

Everyone was helpful and friendly and inviting.

What are your general comments?

I was in a group of 64 total applicants and we were broken down into 4 subgroups that toured together and had similar interview schedules. Two faculty/staff interviews 30 min each and one student interview 30 min in length. Excellent interview experience. Very welcoming and happy that you are interested in their school. Students, faculty, and staff are very professional and helpful.
