The town in gorgeous and the people are all very friendly.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The main facility is actually an old military school, and they haven't kept it that up to date. The classrooms are nice, but everything else looks just like my old middle school.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is no cafeteria and you can't eat on campus unless they provide food, which they do on some "club days."

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

It was pretty stress-free. They told me the interviews would be like a conversation but that wasn't entirely accurate. It was a boardroom setting with me against three faculty members. They just asked questions and I answered them. Not a conversation at all, but they were easy, "Get to know you" kinds of questions. Later we got to check out the facilities and classes while they were in session. It was a nice day overall. Unfortunately, some things aren't that high-tech. They don't have wireless yet, and they don't have some facilities like at Kirksville and Des Moines where they bring in actors for you to be practice patients.
