What are your general comments?
I liked the school. The students seemed enthusiastic. I felt that the interviewers had a good grasp of my application and looked to clarify any confusing points or concerns they may have. My only negative is that living in Des Moines would be too drastic a change from what I am used to.
💬 Interview Process
What impressed you positively?
The new building. It had the most student space I have seen at any school. Plenty of study rooms if you want to be undisturbed, comfy chairs if you prefer and plenty of room by the windows in the library.
What impressed you negatively?
The area itself. I was not expecting anything like NY or LA but from what I saw there was not enough to offer a life outside of school. I feel that distractions are necessary to help balance studying and maintaining one's sanity.
