No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read the school's website, talked to other SDNers.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was extremely friendly. Even though everyone I met was a stranger, I felt as though I was walking into a place where I was family.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The premises are very well guarded by security. You have to park in certain areas and get a permit slip (the security guard gives it to you). But the security guards were all extremely helpful and nice.

What are your general comments?

I had read that this school was very ghetto. I'm glad I came to look for myself. I've lived in South Central L.A. and I can tell you this school is NOT in a ghetto area. It also doesn't look like it's a renovated strip mall... rather, a renovated shopping village... kinda quaint. And the inside is impressive. Like one student told me, hey--you're not going to spend most of your time standing on the outside. You'll be inside and you'll be too busy to care what the outside looks like. All in all, a VERY friendly and cooperative spirit on campus. I think I would be very happy here.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
