What impressed you positively?

They had a social for the minority students. They have a very good financial package. They have a good amount of underrepresented minority students and they are working on increasing the numbers. This was my first time in Kansas and I thought the city was pretty nice. i also met a student at the minority social who was willing to host me for the rest of my stay.

What are your general comments?

I loved my first interviewer, he seemed down to earth and I just enjoyed the conversation. The first interview was open file. The second interview was closed file and it was two on one. This was my first two on one interview and I found it quite difficult. I also wasn't getting very positive vibes from the interviewers...although they did crack a few jokes in the beggining.
