What impressed you positively?

Facilities, campus

What impressed you negatively?

They start the day with a Q & A assuming we already know all about the school from the website. But the dean even admitted the website was not great and that not much information was on there. I felt the MMI was not great at judging who I am as a person and we were not able to meet or speak with any faculty.
