What impressed you positively?

The students really seemed to enjoy going to vanderbilt. In addition, when I slipped into a classroom to observe the student sitting next to me randomly introduced herself and gave me her email in case I had any questions. She went out of her way to make me feel welcome and to say good things about the school. In addition, the admissions staff are wonderful, friendly people.

What impressed you negatively?

We didn't really get a tour of campus. In addition, we had 3 unscheduled hours with which to sit in on classes, explore campus, etc... but we didn't really know where to go, what to see, etc. A bit more structure would have been better.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Stay in student hosting. You can apply for it online. People in my interview group who stayed in hotels said they wished they'd have known about it. My general impression is that the student class is a close group that supports each other. My interviewer says they look hard for friendly, outgoing people. I imagine this somewhat explains the class mentality.
