What impressed you positively?

There's a feeling of excitement over the Fitzsimmons campus and the students seemed to be very social and happy to work together as a team.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour wasn't very helpful. There wasn't much to see in the old campus and the new campus really isn't built yet. Construction seems to be taking longer than anyone expected, so it's hard to tell when the new facilities will actually be in use.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviews are semi-open, meaning they have read your essays and seen your extracurriculars, but they don't know what your grades or test scores or like. I wish that I had a better prepared response to "Is there anything I should know before I look at your file?"

What are your general comments?

CU goes to great lengths to keep you relaxed. They were very organized and things ran smoothly and on time. As my first interview, it was nice to have such a mellow experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
