What impressed you positively?

The facilities were great, the office staff was wonderful

What impressed you negatively?

I thought a lot of the students seemed prep-school ish. I guess that's not a bad thing per se, but I wouldn't fit in there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That Bush was in town! It took me four and a half hours to drive there and I had to push my interview back 2 hours!!

What are your general comments?

It was a good interview. The office staff was so flexible and understanding about my predicament. I was stuck in traffic for hours and had to push the interview back. The interview itself felt like a conversation.
