What impressed you positively?

Very organized day and tried to make you feel comfortable. The students were absolutely great. They were really down to earth and truthful about their experiences at UW. They seem to be really supportive of one another and help each other out. The multicultural affairs office is wonderful. They were really helpful and tried to get the interviewees as much time to spend with other students as possible.

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't meet too many faculty and my interview wasn't the greatest. I got a lot of stone cold looks when I answered my questions which probably isn't a good thing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you're from out of the area and coming from the airport, don't take a taxi but rather take shuttle express. It'll save you a lot of money. Also, no breakfast and a not so great lunch so eat at home

What are your general comments?

This school is obviously a great school and will ensure you receive a top notch education. I didn't feel the faculty was very welcoming but the admissions staff and multicultural affairs office were very friendly and informative. The day was very organized and students were great. I had a chance to sit in one of the lectures and students just came up to me and introduced themselves and offered to answer any of my questions. Definitely a great group of students who are very kind and extremely bright.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
