What impressed you negatively?
My student interview was held in the cafeteria ,it was very noisy. The interviewer asked me almost every question twice and I do not know if she could not hear me or expected me to say something more. She talked to me over lunch and held me for 50 min. up until my faculty interview was scheduled. But she was generally nice and was interested in my story.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The campus consists of only one building and the area did not impress me.
What are your general comments?
The interview day was very poorly organized. They did not know who the faculty interviewer would be for the three of us (out of 20 people group) and I was on of them. We were told that we would have to take a bus to another campus to be interviewed.
There was an hour break between the tour and the student interview that was filed with nothing. In the middle of the student interview an admission office representative came in and told me that I would not have to travel to another campus after all and would be interviewed on site.
